<p><strong>ABOUT BRADFORD HEALTH SERVICES</strong></p> <p>In operation for over 30 years, Bradford Health Services is a large network of addiction treatment centers that offers a full continuum of rehabilitation services. One of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TN17.pdf" target="_blank">116 facilities in the state to offer an IOP program</a>, Bradford Health Services offers <strong>intensive outpatient (IOP) programs and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a> to adults and adolescents</strong> ages 13 and older who are seeking treatment for chemical dependency. Outpatient <strong>medical detoxification</strong> is offered on-site for adults.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Upon admission, clients participate in an initial multidisciplinary assessment to ensure the outpatient program is an appropriate level of care. Bradford Health Services’ <strong>abstinence-based treatment</strong> program utilizes the <strong>12-step framework</strong> that plays an integral role throughout treatment. The 12-Step program is used in <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/AL17.pdf" target="_blank">85% of Tennessee’s treatment facilities</a>, and provides a framework for continuing care. </p> <p>Along with attending 12-Step meetings and performing “step work,” clients also participate in a weekly schedule of small <strong>group counseling sessions and educational classes</strong>. Substance abuse education is commonly used in treatment programs across nearly <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TN17.pdf" target="_blank">78.8% of facilities</a>. Adventure-based programs may also be utilized as well as individualized academic programs.</p> <p>Although sessions focus primarily on <strong>relapse prevention training</strong>, the programs incorporate content to address clients’ needs such as focusing on age groups for different treatment sessions. The Nashville location also encourages family involvement through its <strong>family program</strong>, which offers support and addiction education to loved ones. It is an effective way to provide support to clients through their families, and <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/TN17.pdf" target="_blank">89.9% of the state’s facilities</a> provide some form of family support. Family participation in <strong>Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)</strong> is also recommended.</p> <p>To assist in long-term sobriety, adult and adolescent graduates of the program may take advantage of the facility’s <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a>.
