Placement Services
For someone struggling with mental health challenges or addiction, deciding to enter a treatment program is one of the most important decisions they will make. Unfortunately, with all the options available, making this vital decision may feel overwhelming.
Deciding on a treatment center does not just depend on availability or location; it is about finding the right program to meet the individual’s unique needs. At Axiom Intervention And Case Management Services (AICMS), our placement services are designed to take the guesswork and the stress out of this important decision.
Our qualified and compassionate team walks alongside individuals and families, assisting with program placement to ensure the rehabilitation process is tailored to each person’s needs and provides a foundation for lasting recovery and good health.
What Does Rehabilitation Mean?
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines rehabilitation (rehab) as: “ A set of interventions designed to optimize functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment.”
In the mental health context, this means psychosocial rehabilitation that aims to provide people with chronic mental illness the highest level of independent functioning, and to improve their quality of life by helping them develop emotional, social, and intellectual coping skills.
Rehab utilizes different forms of treatment, lasting various lengths of time, and occurs in a variety of settings, including:
- Detox
- Residential programs
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
- Outpatient
Why Is Proper Rehabilitation Important?
Without proper treatment, individuals are more likely to relapse when facing a recurring crisis. Rehabilitation is not just about stopping harmful behaviors, but also about equipping and empowering individuals, providing them with the tools to thrive long after formal treatment has ended. Quality rehabilitation programs help by:
- Addressing the underlying causes of the mental health disorder or addiction.
- Providing a structured, individualized, and evidence-based treatment program
- Creating a safe environment where individuals can detox and begin healing
- Teaching of life skills and coping mechanisms to promote Independence
- Strengthening family bonds through therapy and education.
Based on your loved one’s diagnostic impression, the AICMS team will conduct a pre-treatment interview to ensure your loved one enters into a treatment facility that is appropriately matched for their current presentation. Understanding that no two individuals are the same, and that treatment may need a unique approach, we determine what program will work best by:
- Conducting a detailed clinical and psychological initial assessment.
- Identifying individual rehabilitation needs such as detoxification, trauma-informed care, or specialized programs for adolescent young adults or professionals.
- Working closely with a vetted network of accredited treatment facilities across the country. Our goal is to ensure a seamless fit between the client’s unique needs and the program’s strengths
During this process, we are mindful of the patients:
- Mental Health Status
- Drug of Choice
- Detoxification, if needed
- Physical Disabilities
- Insurance Eligibility (determine financial responsibility)
- Family History (e.g., domestic violence, sexual abuse)
- Special Financial Needs
- Special Dietary Needs
- Previous Medical Conditions
- Special Housing Requirements
- Gender and Sexual Orientation
In addition, we provide several key highlights about each facility, including:
- Facility Accreditation & Better Business Bureau History
- Family Weekends
- Additional Treatment Costs (detoxification medication, transportation, additional doctor visits, psychiatric consultations, family counseling)
- Clinical Details
- Facility Location Information
- Housing Information
- Gender Composition
- Recreation & Activities
Types of treatment centers that Axiom may refer clients to include:
- Detox centers where clients can withdraw from harmful substances safely under medical supervision.
- Residential treatment facilities that offer 24/7 support in a structured environment
- Partial hospitalization programs that allow clients to return home at night
- Flexible outpatient programs, allowing clients to balance work or school responsibilities with rehabilitation
- Specialty programs, specifically for a dual diagnosis, trauma recovery, adolescent care, or any specialized needs.
- Sober-living homes, transitional environments that help support long-term recovery.
Barriers To Successful Rehabilitation
Even with the best programs available, individuals and families often face obstacles that prevent them from fully benefiting from the treatment available. In order to address these barriers, Axiom’s qualified staff are trained to address them proactively. Some of these barriers may include:
- Stigma and shame, where people delay seeking treatment for fear of judgment.
- Financial considerations. Insurance cover and out-of-pocket costs are often confusing. Our team helps you navigate financial arrangements and maximizes benefits.
- Denial or resistance. Some individuals are in denial about the severity of their condition and the help that they need.
- Logistics and travel. Some patients may need assistance with arranging transportation to the treatment facility, handling the paperwork, or taking care of the final details. Axiom will assist so that the families and individuals can focus on treatment and not be overwhelmed by the logistics.
- Lack of family support. Without family involvement and support, recovery options may suffer. At Axiom, we aim to integrate the families in the process so that they can play an active, constructive role in the individual’s recovery journey.
Why Individualized Treatment Placement Services Are Important
When approaching and deciding on a treatment facility, individual differences matter. Axiom’s placement services succeed in placing people in the correct treatment center because we are personalized, comprehensive, and proactive. We take the time to assist and understand the individual, collaborate with and include the families, and we only work with trusted treatment providers.
At AICMS, we maximize our intervention strategies and placement by liaising with the client, their families, and treatment providers. We do not have an affiliation with any treatment facility, but we research the training of the medical and clinical staff for any treatment programs that we may recommend. This allows us to do our best work and ensure that every possible effort is made to achieve a successful treatment outcome for our patients.
Because we are not employed by, and do not receive payment of any kind from, any of the treatment centers we recommend, we can make unbiased treatment recommendations to guide you in your decision-making process.
