Addiction Treatment Programs

Treatment begins with an assessment to determine the appropriate level of outpatient care, whether intensive outpatient or regular outpatient services. Adolescents and adults receive individual counseling, group counseling and family or couples counseling tailored to their recovery needs, with specialized tracks for criminal justice clients and those with co-occurring mental health disorders.

Clients can expect evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and 12 step facilitation. The program also offers trauma related counseling, brief intervention, anger management and domestic violence treatment using moral reconation therapy.

For added flexibility, telemedicine and telehealth options are available and the team supports clients using medication assisted treatment prescribed from another provider.
