The assessment also helps clinicians to form an <strong>individualized treatment plan</strong>. If necessary, Horizon South provides a non-medical, social detoxification phase of treatment. During this phase of the program, clients are closely monitored to ensure clients detoxify from substances comfortably and safely. </p> <p>Once stable, residents are introduced to Horizon South's Adult System of Care (ASOF), a treatment approach that utilizes a range of evidence-based treatment methods. During residential treatment, clients adhere to a <strong>highly-structured schedule of group and individual counseling sessions</strong>, as well as educational presentations. Horizon Services, Inc. also integrates the <strong>12-step model of recovery</strong> into programming.</p> <p>Counseling sessions may address issues common among men struggling with chemical dependency, such as <strong>anger management, stress management, and improving self-esteem</strong>. The facility may also facilitate specialized group sessions for individuals struggling with co-occurring mental health concerns. Horizon South may also provide referrals to community-based mental health clinics for psychiatric evaluations and medication management.</p> <p>Through educational sessions, clients may learn more about the disease of addiction and <strong>relapse prevention techniques</strong>, such as trigger avoidance, developing support networks, coping skills, and improving life skills.
