Welcome to Morningside Recovery
Morningside Recovery is dedicated to providing world-class care for men and women who are chemically dependent or suffering from co-occurring disorders. We believe every client can recover and learn how to manage mental and emotional stability. Our treatment model is based on years of experience backed by clinical research in treating clients with chemical dependency and mood disorders. Our comprehensive modules are designed to meet an array of needs, and Morningside prides itself on being able to truly address the psychiatric needs of clients with co-occurring disorders. We give clients the best possible chance at long-term recovery and an improved quality of life. We do this by remaining open-minded and continually investing in the most advanced addiction treatment resources, redefining how medicine, technology, and therapy integrate.
Our treatment center offers a variety of programs and approaches for individuals and families suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, disordered eating and/or mental illness. All of our therapists adapt their skills to the specific needs of the client. Our client-centered, integrated treatment planning takes into account the client’s culture, values, and patterns of relating to others. All clients work with a primary therapist, an alliance built on evidence-based thinking, which means picking the best clinical option available for a given client in a given context based on the best current information. For instance, a client who prefers a spiritual approach can work with a 12-step therapist. It’s all about maintaining a supportive environment and providing individual, group, experiential, and adventure therapies. Some specific therapies include: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational enhancement therapy, drama therapy, equine therapy, Morningside Adventure Therapy (MAP), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – just to name a few. Utilizing this multi-disciplinary approach offers each client the opportunity to uncover the underlying issues related to their addiction and/or mental health problems.
“Morningside Recovery was founded in an era when most people spent twenty eight days in recovery, after which you were on your own,” says Jeff Yates, founder of Morningside Recovery. “We believe it takes up to five weeks to establish an accurate clinical baseline for a client, and we’ve found our clients benefit immensely from the extended support and extensive services that Morningside offers.”
Continuum of Care and Family Programming
Morningside Recovery programs present a continuum of care that starts with stabilization and moves each client to a place of responsibility for their recovery. Though often unrealized, the person with the addiction is the center of dysfunction. Families attend our Relationships Process seminars to learn about the familial roles in workshops. They learn to identify who plays a particular role based on fear, guilt, and shame. By improving self-esteem, establishing a sense of purpose and formulating a sense of community, treatment at Morningside breaks the cycles of dysfunction. Clients find a new identity through work, school, and family reconnection. This solidifies a sustainable lifestyle of recovery that culminates in the family’s ability to self-manage emotional and behavioral serenity.
Co-occurring Disorders and Understanding Addiction
Unlike other treatment centers that merely post the latest key phrases on their website, Morningside truly specializes in co-occurring disorders. A co-occurring disorder refers to the presence of both a mental illness and a substance-use disorder. Research has demonstrated that 50% of all individuals diagnosed with a mental illness also have a substance abuse problem. More importantly, those suffering from co-occurring disorders are treated for all conditions simultaneously at Morningside. We offer both individual and group support, appropriate medication, education, and family support during recovery. Helping a client go through medical detox, on to early sobriety, and achieve mental balance takes care, understanding, skill, and compassion. At Morningside, our clinicians incorporate all of these along with the latest evidence-based treatment approaches.
Our essential understanding of addiction is that it is broken or impaired choosing. An addicted brain has been altered in such a way that the drug has taken on psychological meaning at the level of survival, so that staying high or supplied is experienced as the solution to any problem. The threat of the loss of the drug is experienced as a kind of psychic death the person will do nearly anything to avoid. In turn, the addicted person is unable to make safe and sane choices until abstinence and recovery begin in earnest.
