Assessing Treatment Options
Care typically begins with a clinical assessment, including physical and toxicology exams to guide an individualized treatment plan.

These FDA-approved medicines can help relieve withdrawal symptoms so guests can focus on their healing in comfort.

Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, contingency management and relapse prevention, delivered through various counseling sessions.
The clinic also supports clients with trauma counseling, peer mentoring, case management, telehealth visits and DUI/DWI and second-offender aftercare programming.
The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay, state and federal funding and SAMHSA block-grant support.
