Anchor Hospital’s Chemical Dependency Program provides treatment to elderly adults with a primary diagnosis of addictive disease. Elderly substance abuse treatment is based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous and can include medically-supervised detoxification in addition to rehabilitation services.

Our program includes:

• 12-step recovery lectures
• Relapse prevention
• Step work preparation
• Psychotherapy, coping skills, spirituality and dual diagnosis groups
• Physician lectures on addiction
• Expressive therapy
• 24-hour nursing and physician care
• Daily NA/AA meetings
• Family sessions
• Mirror image program

The following therapeutic themes are addressed concurrently with addiction issues:

• Grief and loss
• Shame
• Trauma and abuse history

Outpatient services provide comprehensive treatment for patients experiencing problems with psychiatric and addiction disorders through day or evening programs, allowing them to return home each day. Outpatient programming is offered as a step down from inpatient care or as a step up into treatment and is adjusted to meet the needs of patients through group and family sessions. Each patient will have an individualized treatment plan to meet his or her needs and goals.

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) serves patients experiencing a behavioral or chemical dependency crisis who require stabilization without the intensity of full inpatient hospitalization.
