Although the facility’s <strong>primary services are for adults</strong>, the Ringer Center is also <strong>able to treat adolescents and children over the age of five</strong>. In addition to other services, the facility offers an <a href="https://www.recovery.org/forums/categories/iop-outpatient-alcohol-treatment" target="_blank">intensive outpatient program (IOP)</a>, a DWI program, and stress management.</p> <p>According to a <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NC17.pdf" target="_blank">2017 SAMHSA survey</a>, 41.1 percent of rehab facilities in North Carolina offer IOP and 28.6 percent offer a program specifically tailored to DUI/DWI clients. The same survey indicates that 9.3 percent of rehabs in the state offer detox on an outpatient basis.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>To be admitted, potential clients may call the Ringer Center’s 24-hour hotline to schedule an initial assessment. During the assessment, staff determine the appropriate treatment plan for each individual.</p> <p>The Ringer Center’s treatment program is based around the <strong><a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-a-non-religious-journalist-makes-a-case-for-aa-in-2017/" target="_blank">12-Steps</a></strong>. Most clients in <strong>IOP</strong> remain in treatment between <strong>three and six months</strong>, while the average length of treatment in the detoxification program is between <strong>five and ten days</strong>. </p> <p>Throughout treatment, clients receive primarily <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)</strong>. The program also uses <strong>motivational enhancement</strong> as well as <strong>reality therapy</strong> and rational emotive therapy (RET). Participants in the detoxification program receive medication such as <strong>Suboxone</strong> (for those suffering from opiate addiction), and <strong>Librium</strong> (for those suffering from alcohol addition).
