<p><strong>ABOUT THE COLEMAN INSTITUTE</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1998, the Coleman Institute (TCI) offers <strong>short-term outpatient detox services</strong> for individuals struggling with addiction to opiates and opioids, Suboxone, methadone, alcohol, and benzodiazepines. Headquartered in <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-coleman-institute-3289409780/" target="_blank">Richmond, Va.</a>, TCI operates numerous facilities around the US, including this one near the San Francisco International Airport and another in Orange County, Southern California.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>TCI's treatment is founded on the goal of providing fast, safe detox from harmful substances: clients typically detox from their drugs of choice in three to eight days. </p> <p>In order to provide these results, TCI uses an "accelerated detox technique." This involves using <strong>the craving-curbing drug Naltrexone</strong> (via implant or a monthly injection) and a host of other medications that ease the symptoms of withdrawal. For alcohol detox, TCI also gives clients <strong>a boost of the vitamins and minerals</strong> depleted during active addiction, which are necessary for the healthy functioning of the brain.</p> <p>New clients should arrive on the first day of treatment in a state of mild withdrawal. They'll have to return to the center daily for several days to receive further medications and an IV drip.</p> <p>After the rapid detox — the "Get Clean" phase — clients are helped to "Stay Clean" through Naltrexone, which they're encouraged to keep using for at least 12 months, and through an individualized treatment plan that includes contact information for local treatment professionals and other resources. Clients also receive <strong>lifetime "<a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a> coordination services,"</strong> comprising referrals to further treatment whenever necessary.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>TCI is named for Dr. Peter Coleman, a doctor specializing in family practice medicine and addiction medicine who himself has 30 years in recovery from addiction. The organization also contracts with <strong>addiction medicine physicians</strong> around the US and employs several nurse practitioners and clinical supervisors. The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave TCI four out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date would recommend the Coleman Institute, writing: "I wouldn't be the person I am today without this center. Very good." They gave TCI four stars for its holistic offerings and its ability to treat co-occurring disorders and five stars for its counseling options — though they criticized the center's food and exercise options.</p> <p>Secondary sites yielded no review coverage at the time of this writing.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>TCI accepts some insurances, and has a relationship with a medical loans company. The cost of treatment varies according to the client's location and the type of treatment required. The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date wrote that treatment was "very expensive," and gave TCI three out of five stars for its affordability.</p>
