About UAB Center for Beacon Recovery

If you’re out in Birmingham, Alabama, you can find the UAB Center for Beacon Recovery. They provide outpatient addiction services for adults and adolescents aged 13 to 18. This includes medication assisted treatment (MAT) for adults and school based services for youths.

The clinic accepts Medicaid and has a sliding scale for program fees if you don’t have insurance. The first assessment is free, and they don’t turn anyone away because they cannot pay.

Outpatient Services for Adult Substance Use Treatment

The intake process starts with a phone evaluation that takes one to two hours. The eval is free, and the counselor will let you know what treatment options best meet your needs. Those who don’t meet the criteria for substance use disorder might still get early intervention services.

The outpatient programs for adults include early intervention, which includes DUI classes and counseling for folks who use substances but don’t have disorders. They also offer a day treatment program for those with co-occurring disorders or who are homeless.

Another adult program is their intensive outpatient program (IOP), which has at least nine hours of treatment per week and can last up to six months. The program includes individual and group counseling, and there are specialty groups on topics like 12 Steps, trauma, grief, healthy coping, and financial fitness. There’s also a general outpatient program and targeted services for pregnant women.

Addiction Treatment for Teens in Birmingham

UAB partners with schools in the area to provide substance use counseling during school hours. For teens who need help but aren’t in the school systems they serve, UAB provides evening classes either in person or through telehealth.

Levels of Care

  • Inpatient

    Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.

  • PHP

    Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency.

  • Outpatient

    In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

  • Aftercare

    Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.

  • Dual Diagnosis

    Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.

Detox Service Setting

  • Inpatient Detox

    Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.

  • Outpatient Detox

    Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.

  • MAT

    Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.

Programs

  • Adult (18+)

    Adult programs address the substance use and life challenges specific to adults. Therapists can deliver sessions in individual, group and family settings. Services often include job support and life skills training in a structured environment.

  • Alcohol Detox

    Alcohol detox programs offer medical support to help individuals withdraw safely from alcohol. Your care team may use medications to ease your symptoms and provide medical monitoring to address complications.

  • Animal Therapy

    Animal therapy uses interactions with animals such as dogs or horses as part of treatment. You’ll learn to develop trust, lower your anxiety levels and regulate your emotions. This provides comfort and a sense of companionship during the recovery journey.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing harmful thought patterns and behaviors associated with addiction. You’ll learn healthier coping mechanisms by identifying and replacing negative thoughts. This improves your emotional resilience and decreases your relapse potential.

  • Exercise Therapy

    Exercise therapy incorporates physical activity into treatment to promote mental and physical health. Regular exercise reduces stress, boosts mood and enhances your overall wellbeing. This can give you a positive outlook and lower your relapse risk.

  • Men

    Men's programs address substance use while also considering the social pressures, family roles and mental health concerns that are specific to men. You’ll learn healthy coping mechanisms as you build emotional resilience and develop communication skills.

  • Seniors (65+)

    Senior programs address the unique needs of older adults like chronic pain, grief and isolation. Programs include peer support and medical oversight for age related health concerns. The goal is to improve quality of life and promote sober aging.
