Mental Health & Substance Use CompAnions
A companion is a guide or mentor who helps the client adapt to life in recovery. A successful companion relationship is based on ability to build rapport while maintaining healthy boundaries. The aim of the relationship is to guide the individual toward their goals with compassion while emulating what it means to be a healthy individual in recovery. Companioning at Sisu sets itself apart through strong case management. Companions work under a Case Manager and together with the client, they help create specific goals that a client will work toward. Clients may work with a companion a few times per week up to 24 hours per day dependent on their needs.
Family Coaching
Family coaches work alongside individuals who have a family member struggling with addiction or other mental health issues. They strive to educate clients on the disease and support them as they begin to set boundaries. Coaches help foster communication that is built on a more functional family system. They can support you to break the cycle of unhealthy behaviors in your family system.
INTERVENTION
Interventions are utilized as a tool to change a specific dynamic that has been created in the family system. An intervention allows family members an outlet to share their concerns with the identified loved one. At the same time this individual is offered a specific treatment plan to help them on their path to recovery. At Sisu Healing Partners we provide interventions for all age groups and for a variety of mental health and substance use disorders.
sober transport
Sometimes getting to treatment or home from treatment safely is the biggest barrier. Sober transport can help you or your loved one get to and from treatment safely whether by plane, train or car. Having a sober companion aid in your transportation can be a great opportunity to learn how to manage your emotions in triggering situations.
Sober monitoring
Sober Monitoring can be a helpful tool to support recovery efforts. Sisu is able to monitor sobriety either via urine drug screening or Soberlink® portable breathalyzer. This technology can sync with your smartphone and results are monitored via a Case Manager. The Case Manager can manage releases of information and help create a therapeutic environment for discussing results with families. Monitoring can also help your care team become aware of behaviors, such as if a client begins to miss tests or complete tests late. This creates an opportunity for the client and Case Manger to look at what may have triggered a change in behavior.
