Treatment and Staff

This program does not believe in the “one size fits all” treatment approach. As a result, before beginning treatment clients undergo a comprehensive assessment. It includes a complete account of substance use as well as a history of mental and physical health conditions. In the case of adolescent and teenage clients, families may be asked to provide information regarding home life. Based on these results the facility determines the best possible individualized treatment strategy tailored to address the unique needs and goals of the person.

The IOP is ideal for clients either transitioning out of inpatient, or for individuals that require consistent therapy but cannot commit to a residential program. Clients in IOP participate in therapy between 10 am and 1 pm three days a week. Individuals are able to receive therapy without taking much time away from school. The length of care varies from person to person depending on their needs. The facility also offers outpatient services on a step-down basis that runs on weekdays between 10 am and 2 pm. The length of therapy sessions also varies, with 30, 45 and 60 minute options available.

Clinicians utilize an array of therapeutic methods including psychoeducation, traditional therapy sessions and relapse prevention. Clients engage in regular individual therapy and group sessions with licensed therapists.
