CASE MANAGEMENT
Case Management is a diverse and highly specialized process in which a designated ARCS Coach provides comprehensive services to individuals, couples and families throughout the course of the recovery process. Our case management program is highly customized and, thus, can be substantially more extensive than is listed, here; however, some of its most rudimentary components include:
• free consultation
• bio-psycho-social assessment
• intervention training and facilitation
• resource allocation
• program development and placement
• ongoing coaching and education
• incremental treatment planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation
The incomparable value of case management is the continuity and, thus, the increased statistical success, of working with an informed professional throughout every phase of the rehabilitation process. In essence, it's not unlike the enhanced significance of a friend with whom you share a longer and more extensive history. Quite simply, the better your coach knows you, the more responsive they can be to your needs and the more accurately they can tailor program facets to your goals. Furthermore, myriad studies have shown that the better you know your coach, the more forthright, proactive and successful you will be, along the course of your healing journey.
Case management is particularly important for recovering addicts, as evasiveness and denial are part and parcel of the mechanism of relapse. Although dramatic changes are not recommended within the first 18 months of recovery, some environmental change as one progresses through the various stages of recuperation should be regarded as a promising inevitability. For instance, completed detox should naturally lead to treatment, and completed treatment should naturally lead to transitional living. If an addict acquires a new coach at each one of these junctures, with no consistent contact being retained, it can provide a systemic loophole through which an addict's subconscious might easily jump toward relapse. We see this same problem in a completely different context, when we observe the "left-hand-doesn't-know-what-the-right-hand-is-doing" fragmentation within large bureaucracies (which many treatment centers have now become).
In case management, there is one coach with whom the addict consistently checks in and stays accountable. You could equate our case managers to anchors, for both addicts and their family members... We are the informed, accessible source that remains steady, even as other variables may shift.
