Individual Case Management
Individual case management at Breathe Life Healing Centers ensures each client has recovery life support throughout treatment and provides case management options after discharge.
Conditions such as substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health illnesses impact millions of people each and every year, with more people developing them as time moves forward. People who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol are likely to experience issues such as family conflict and social isolation. Individuals with co-occurring mental illnesses often feel overwhelmed by their symptoms, as well as hopeless that there is no way to fix themselves.
And while these individuals usually share very similar effects of their conditions, they are also unique in what else they experience while addicted to drugs/alcohol, and/or attempting to manage a co-occurring condition on their own. Therefore, using only one approach to address these issues is not only ineffective but also irresponsible for those seeking to effect positive change in their lives.
Individual Case Management Sessions
Case managers are assigned to all clients who are receiving individual case management. These trained, experienced, and compassionate individuals will serve as a personal coach of sorts, guiding the client through their recovery until the end of their involvement in the case management.
Having a case manager assigned through the facility's case management can help individuals in a number of ways, beyond guiding them through the treatment and recovery process. Simply knowing that someone is in their corner is often enough for individuals to continue to reach for their treatment goals and begin building a happy life that is free from substance abuse or untreated co-occurring mental illnesses.
Some of the aspects that individual case management will focus on with all clients include the following:
Goal Setting
Individuals being treated for one of these common conditions often have no experience setting goals or have not done so for a long time. When in recovery for conditions as serious as addiction and co-occurring conditions, it is critical that an individual sets goals for themselves. A case manager will work with the client to help them develop attainable goals throughout their treatment so that their recovery can continue.
Self-Esteem Building
It is not uncommon for people who are receiving individual case management to have a history of low self-esteem. In fact, low self-esteem is one of the most common traits in those who have a substance use disorder, and/or a co-occurring condition. Therefore, case managers will encourage clients to participate in regular exercises that build their self-esteem, helping them continue to grow in their recovery.
Personal Development
When serious conditions affect an individual’s life, they may stop progressing in their spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional development. This is usually because an individual is preoccupied with the condition they are experiencing.
A case manager can work on personal development with the client so that he or she can advance in all areas of their life and do so successfully without addiction or co-occurring conditions standing in the way.
Responsibility Coaching
Including structure into one’s everyday life after putting a stop to the active part of a severe condition like addiction or co-occurring conditions can be the best way to prevent future relapse. A major part of building structure is to help clients learn how to maintain responsibility in their lives, such as going to support group meetings regularly, including self-care in their daily schedule, and upholding the responsibilities that they have at work, home, or school, so that life can flow easily and without setbacks.
Case managers working in individual case management treatment centers will ensure that clients are not only receiving these services but also engaging in other beneficial aspects of treatment, including workshops on spirituality, responsible financial management, co-dependency, food & weight, processing feelings, and future planning.
Every client receiving individual case management will receive a personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs and reflective of a holistic approach to care.
Additionally, participants in Breathe’s individual case management will be able to work with a case manager after completing their program via online or phone conferencing.
Through this platform, case managers can check in with their clients as they continue on with their recovery.
