Willingway Hospital, located in Statesboro, Georgia, is a privately owned hospital which specializes in treating alcoholism and drug addiction. The treatment modality at Willingway Hospital is based on the principles of the twelve-step program, Alcoholics Anonymous. It is referred to by many as “The Betty Ford Center of the South.”〔“Heroes for Today.” Reader’s Digest January 1995〕 ==Programs== Willingway offers the following levels of care: * Detoxification – A patient is medically detoxed from all mood-changing chemicals in a unit similar to that of an intensive care unit at a general hospital. Willingway is equipped to successfully detox patients from notoriously difficult chemicals like Methadone, Oxycontin, Valium, and Xanax.〔http://www.willingway.com〕 * Inpatient/Residential – After completing detox, patients are then moved to this second phase of treatment where they are given an individual counselor and begin to identify problems they may encounter on the path to long-term sobriety as well as the solutions that accompany them. They learn to incorporate the principles of the AA program into all areas of their lives.〔 * Day Treatment/Partial Hospitalization – This modified version of the inpatient program is offered to those who do not necessarily require monitoring 24 hours a day but need more structure than is available to them in the outpatient program.〔 * Family Program – During the last five days of a patient’s stay at Willingway, family members of the alcoholic or drug addict are encouraged to participate in the program with their loved one so they can learn more about the disease of alcoholism and what that means to them. Family therapy and special groups are an essential part of this experience.〔 * Intensive Outpatient – This level of care allows for the patient to live at home and still receive the help they need. Patients go to evening group sessions and meet with a counselor on a weekly basis. As with the rest of Willingway’s programs, the medical staff is actively involved in the treatment process.〔 * Individual Outpatient Counseling – Patients who no longer require the intensity of outpatient groups may continue to meet with their counselor on a one-on-one basis.〔 * Extended Treatment – For alcoholics and addicts that need more time to develop the skills required to maintain a lifetime of sobriety, long-term treatment programs are recommended. The “Women’s Residence” and the “Men’s Lodge” provide residents with individual and group counseling. Residents attend AA meetings and begin to apply what they learn into their daily lives.〔 * Continuing Care – Prior to leaving the care of Willingway Hospital, recovering alcoholics and drug addicts are given aftercare plans designed to help them maintain their sobriety. While each plan is individual, all patients are encouraged to immerse themselves in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous or another twelve-step program in which they obtain a sponsor, go to meetings, and begin to work the twelve steps.〔 Patients are evaluated and placed in the level of care most appropriate for their needs. Each patient’s program is completely individualized.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Willingway Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
