Telepsychology Services
Stigma and shame are one the main reasons people with substance abuse disorders do not seek treatment. Only 20% of the nearly 20 million people who struggle with addiction receive treatment (Volkow, 2019). Online telepsychology services at iRecovery offer treatment for alcohol abuse and addiction from the comfort of your home.
Our healthcare professionals at iRecovery are aware that recovery is a personal experience. Just as your path to recovery was unique, your treatment program must be unique to your needs. iRecovery has designed a program free of stigma and shame. Treatment is available at a location of choice, whether that be your home, work, or somewhere else convenient.
Before committing to telepsychology, you must be educated and informed about the process. Knowing what your treatment will entail, will provide you with assurance and incentive for success.
What is Telepsychology?
Medication is prescribed under the care of a licensed and data-waived physician. In the beginning, you will receive a comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment plan. Necessary medications will be prescribed based on your needs. Our team of licensed providers can also help treat underlying chronic conditions. Stabilizing all aspects of your mental health contributes to a successful recovery. Medication management is just one benefit of telepsychology.
Telepsychology is a combination of behavioral therapy, counseling, and medication-assisted treatment under the care of our health professionals. Through this method, iRecovery can offer safe and effective telepsychology in Florida and across the United States.
Treatment begins with identifying your past and current stressors during your initial intake. You will receive judgment-free support from the very beginning. A care coordinator will be assigned who will follow you through your recovery journey. Your care coordinator is just one member of your treatment team.
Equally important, licensed therapists use telehealth psychology to improve motivation and commitment to sobriety. Our therapists help to work through the underlying conditions that contributed to your addiction. You will receive guidance from licensed professionals who will help you avoid relapse.
Your case manager will assist you through any difficulties encountered along the way. Case managers help identify practical ways to help you through tough situations. They will also locate self-help meetings in your area, assist with support letters to employers, and attorneys or legal personnel. Case managers can help find supportive housing and financial assistance. They are there to make it easier for you.
After an assessment, you will participate in Therapeutics programs. Individual and group therapy are the core of the iRecovery program. The lifestyle changes that accompany recovery can be difficult and, at times, overwhelming. It is assuring to know you are not alone.
Therapists know how to motivate your commitment to sobriety. Our therapists help you to avoid relapse and the serious potential of a lethal overdose. You’ll receive unique guidance and strategies to help you succeed.
Online psychologist therapy helps you discover who you are inside so you may have the future you deserve. By working through the past and current difficulties, you can create a happy, sustainable life. It is important to understand how telepsychology can be useful for you.
The medication assistance programs offered at iRecovery are used to stabilize the chemistry of the brain. Medications can also be used to block the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids. It helps to decrease the physical dependence the body has for alcohol or drugs. As a result, there is no longer a physiological dependence.
Medications help relieve physical withdrawal symptoms. Fear of withdrawal is another reason people procrastinate in seeking treatment. The treatment team at iRecovery wants to ensure you are stable and well. Stability physically will allow you to participate fully in the rest of your recovery program.
Additionally, iRecovery includes family sessions as part of the treatment plan. Family is integral to all stages of life. Family involvement and communication are crucial for successful recovery from substance abuse disorders. Though not mandatory, family sessions are encouraged for your benefit. Your family must be aware that, just as your program is private, meetings with them will always be secure.
Furthermore, iRecovery uses secure, HIPAA compliant technology to provide online psychologist therapy. You can connect from anywhere you have wi-fi access. The physicians and psychologists are experienced and know the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to addiction services. Our team understands the isolation, fear, and shame that accompanies addiction. The program was designed with your safety and security in mind.
