Job Services, Health Screenings and Recovery Support

Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of care.

Many clients start in the 24 bed withdrawal management program where medically monitored detox provides 24 hour supervision, nutritional support and safety in a recently renovated setting.

From detox, clients can step into gender specific residential treatment with separate programs for men and women that offer intensive, structured support in a comfortable community environment.

Outpatient programming includes intensive and low intensity tracks with individual therapy, group therapy relapse prevention and skill building groups.

MAT is integrated across all levels of care, and family counseling, employment services, health screenings and recovery support are available to address the full scope of client needs.
