The COR-12 Program was designed by Hazelden Betty Ford, the country’s preeminent experts in addiction recovery.
COR is the acronym used for Comprehensive Opioid Response and the 12 signifies the importance of including a Twelve Step component with treatment.
Four Rivers Behavioral Health staff have received extensive training from Hazelden Betty Ford and our entire team works together to give clients the greatest possibility for success. The program has an option for medically assisted treatment in conjunction with substance use counseling. After an initial assessment it may be determined that medically assisted treatment would be beneficial.
Opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and particularly in Kentucky. According to the Center for Disease Control more than 52,000 Americans die each year from drug overdoses with Kentucky ranked as having the third-highest overdose rate in the U.S. with opioids indicated as the primary toxin in nearly all of the overdose fatalities.
The program is an integrated model of care that combines the use of medication as an option for treatment along with clinical practice and Twelve Step Facilitation. Other evidence-based treatment methods also are a part of the COR-12 Program such as Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other models.
The option to combine medication along with behavioral therapies has been proven an effective treatment for Opioid Use Disorders. Medically assisted treatment when coupled with relevant social, medical and psychological services has a very high probability of being effective for opioid addiction.
Not all participants would benefit from medically assisted treatment but would still be candidates for the COR-12 program. An initial assessment will determine if medication is a suitable option.
The program is designed for adults who have met the clinical definition for Opioid Use Disorder and have a one-year history of opioid use. The program is further focused on clients who have failed attempts with other treatment options and who are motivated to make long-term changes to their life.
COR-12 is unique because of multiple weekly opportunities staff have to engage directly with clients. COR-12 wraps the participant with a support system that provides hope, strength and accountability to overcome addiction.
The program is tailored to the participant with most taking three to twelve months to complete. Throughout the treatment process family involvement is vital and ongoing monitoring takes place to ensure there is no opioid use during treatment.
The program also will include extensive aftercare planning, peer support, medication management (including replacements for opioids for those clients who it is deemed medically necessary), and community referrals.
