Treatment and Staff

At the introductory assessment clients discuss their concerns and what goals they would like to achieve during treatment. The program is designed to last 90 days, though some clients may choose to not remain in treatment for that length of time. From this assessment a customized treatment plan is introduced, and as clients move through their treatment, the plan is adjusted accordingly.

There are several group therapy sessions daily, and individual therapy sessions are scheduled as often as necessary. The groups are capped at eight clients with a three-to-one client-to-staff ratio.

CBT approaches are used during therapy . There are also on-site AA meetings. While this program is primarily based on the 12 steps, each client’s personal beliefs are respected when it comes to cultural and spiritual preferences.

Most of the Moonlight Mountain Recovery staff are in recovery themselves. The treatment team is comprised of experienced therapists and residential support staff.

Extras

Aftercare planning is a key element to each client’s treatment plan. This plan includes ensuring a safe housing situation and helping to set out outpatient care.
