Overview:

Upon admission, residents are admitted to the stabilization/detox unit where they will be monitored for a minimum of 24 hours. Once detox is complete, residents will be assessed to determine their treatment plan. The length of stay in the stabilization unit will vary from individual to individual before entering the resident community. At GreeneStone, they employ a holistic approach to the treatment of residents with the disease of addiction, because they know that no one model works for everyone.

GreeneStone offers a multi-dimensional approach to set of problems with consequences not only to the individual, but also their family, friends, coworkers and society as a whole. The facility individualized the understanding in any clinical circumstance.

In their overview they claim it is possible to attend detox as a stand-alone program. I called and asked to do that to then evaluate afterwards if I wanted to continue with their in-patient treatment, and I was told detox on its own in NOT an option. I was even given a referral to go elsewhere. So their services are not advertised correctly here, according to my experience.

They say that beauty comes from within. Well it certainly does at Greenstone. The entire staff from the kitchen to cleaning staff, office staff, medical staff, maintenance staff, yoga and fitness personnel, massage and last but certainly not least the counsellors themselves. I spent two months there and was actually scared to leave as i felt so secure and safe. I participated in most everything that they had to offer because i was there to learn to like myself again as well as change my life for a better future. Greenstone was not the cure all of all my problems and they did not promise to cure me either. They gave me the knowledge and skills to continue on a better path for myself when i left. They all care and are very devoted and educated. What a beautiful property as i love the outdoors and took advantage of it all. Great way to meditate and learn to be in the moment. Life is good for me now and i will contact them at some point as i miss them all. Leaf raking girl.??

They seemed caring and we sent our willing daughter there for a 45 day treatment for addiction and PTSD, at 32,000. We were told she was doing well, upon her release, she was arrested 2 days later with a DUI and off the rails anger issues. There are no guarantees with these programs, so think twice before spending the money, while I understand it is up to the client, there should be some kind of support after the door shuts

04/17/2018 Answer:

Thank you for the review. Sadly, we do see this happen from time-to-time. Once the individual leaves our program and it's up to them on how to best use the tools they've learned over the past 30-45 days. We will, and do offer a after-care support model, through one-on-one therapy and group support meetings. If you give us a call I would be happy to the discuss the additional support models we provide, and/or recommend alternate treatment options. 1-844-955-5501

Great place, I competed the 45 day program and have been clean for over 9 months now. This is the third time I've been to rehab and this is my longest clean stretch. The biggest difference was the individual therapists and the time she spent with me, my therapist (Amy) was always there for me and i couldn't of changed my life with out her. Thank you Amy! The setting is beautiful, right on the water. Everyone gets there own room, and they treat you with respect. 10 out of 10! Eric

04/17/2018 Answer:

Thanks Eric! I will pass your comments along to Amy.

Great experience. A few flaws The food was not the best. No healthy choices. Need to tighten up On some of rules. Need more activities on the weekend. Great therapist clean rooms Staff all deserve 10 stars.

09/25/2018 Answer:

Apologies for the late reply and thank you for your feedback. GreeneStone will definitely look to accommodate/offer more activities so people have some more structure opposed to wandering around or in their room. This of course differs based on the individual but your feedback is much appreciated.

08/25/2018

Greenestone was recommended to me because I wanted a place that let residents carry a cell phone/ let us leave (if approved by staff) for the weekends etc. They are very liberal and probably one of the most relaxed treatment centers. If you want a lot of therapy sessions and a busy schedule Greenestone might not be the right fit. I accredit Greenestone with saving my life and some of my close friends who 3 years later are still clean. Doesn’t matter where you go you have to be able to put in the work or else you might have a slip. Thanks Greenestone

09/25/2018 Answer:

I am extremely glad to hear you had a healthy and beneficial stay here at GreeneStone. You are exactly right, it takes hard work to battle substance abuse and as long as one is willing to take the step we are here to help with the rest. I will take your feedback back to the team in order to have more activities for residents to be a part of. If you know if anyone else that is suffering from addictions or mental health please have them call the 1-844-955-5501 so we can help save other peoples lives just like yours.

Detox Services:

Subacute Detox:

Subacute detox is a way of ridding a patient's body of substances in a safe way. Less intensive than acute detox, subacute detox frequently involves both the use of certain prescription drugs to help the body transition safely to being substance-free, as well as counseling and therapy. Sub-acute detox programs are either residential, where you stay at the facility, or outpatient, where you attend treatment during the day but sleep off-site. Subacute programs vary in length, depending on the addiction. For example, those dependent on benzodiazepines benefit from a slow tapering-off process that can take several months. Sub-acute detox is sometimes used as a second-tier treatment for those who've already completed a more rigorous inpatient detox program.

Methadone Maintenance:

Methadone Maintenance Treatment or ORT (Opiate Replacement Therapy) is the use of methadone as a substitute for someone who is addicted to opioids (heroin, OxyContin, codeine, Dilaudid, Percocet and others), helping with the recovery process reducing the cravings for the opioids or used as part of the admittance process to a substance abuse treatment facility that requires complete abstinence.

Medication-Assisted Treatment:

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications along with counseling and therapy to treat substance abuse. MAT is mainly used to treat opioid addictions (i.e. heroin and/or prescription drugs like OxyContin or Vicodin). Medications like buprenorphine are used in MAT to help normalize brain chemistry, block the effects of alcohol and/or opioids, relieve cravings, and stabilize body functions, making sobriety easier to maintain. All medications used are approved by the FDA, and every MAT program is tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Buprenorphine Detox:

Buprenorphine (brand name Subutex, among others) is an opioid medication used to treat opioid addiction. Buprenorphine can prevent or significantly reduce withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to get and stay off opioids. Sometimes used alongside naloxone, dosage depends on the severity of each case. Many people stay on buprenorphine long-term, although some gradually reduce the dosage to come off it.

Naltrexone:

Naltrexone is an FDA-approved medication used to treat opioid and alcohol addiction. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings and prevent relapse, making recovery easier. It comes either in pill form (ReVia, Depade), taken once a day; or in an injectable form (Vivitrol), administered monthly. Patients must not have any illegal opioids or opioid medication in their system for at least 7-10 days before starting naltrexone (this includes methadone, so if you’re switching from methadone to naltrexone, you must wait until your system is clear).

Level of Care:

Holistic Treatment:

Rather than focusing solely on addiction, holistic treatment facilities treat patients in terms of their whole being. Holistic treatment is about more than just addiction and sobriety – it addresses the person’s life in its entirety, including career, physical, familial, and spiritual aspects.

Medically Assisted Detox:

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

24 Hour Clinical Care:

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Inpatient:

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Individualized Treatment:

Certain drug and alcohol rehab centers have standard treatment regimes they expect all patients to follow. Others offer individualized treatment, meaning they tailor treatment to a person's specific background and needs. For example, a rehab facility may adjust a treatment program to take into account the type of drug or addiction from which the person suffers, their age, medical condition(s), religious beliefs, or lifestyle.

12-Step:

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Aftercare Support:

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatment Focus:

Opiate Addiction:

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Alcoholism:

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse:

A combined mental health and substance abuse treatment center has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Dual Diagnosis/Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment:

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Therapy Programs:

Family Therapy:

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Individual Therapy:

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma Therapy:

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Group Therapy:

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Motivational Interviewing:

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Life Skills:

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition Therapy:

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Creative Arts Therapy:

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy:

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
