Flexible Treatment Programs

Care typically begins with a comprehensive mental health and substance use assessment to determine the right level of support.

Clients can access regular outpatient services, an Extended Outpatient Program for adults, group therapy and medication-assisted treatment using buprenorphine or naltrexone, with referrals to detox, inpatient, residential or sober living when higher levels of care are needed.

Medications can help ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce drug cravings so guests can relax and focus on their recovery journey without being distracted.

Therapeutic Techniques for Recovery

Treatment incorporates numerous methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling and relapse prevention.

These intensive techniques help guests develop healthy coping skills, learn to recognize substance use triggers and avoid specific patterns for sustained sobriety after treatment.

Additional services include psychiatric medication management, telehealth therapy, case management, naloxone and overdose education and peer recovery support through Certified Peer Recovery Specialists.
