Addiction Treatment Programs

Care typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment planning, with behavioral health referrals coordinated through Network180.

From there, patients may enter outpatient counseling or the opioid treatment program, which includes methadone services and other medications for opioid use disorder such as buprenorphine or naltrexone.

Clients can expect one on one sessions with credentialed therapists, recovery coaching and aftercare planning. The Recovery Management Program pairs a recovery coach with a therapist to help build coping skills, healthy living environments and connections to community resources, while family engagement therapy supports parents managing substance use and mental health concerns.
