Levels of Care
Detox
Detox fully and safely removes toxic substances from the body, allowing the next steps in treatment to begin with a clean slate.
Methods
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Mindfulness Therapy
This ancient practice can be mental, emotional, and even spiritual. In meditation, you focus your attention on the present moment without judgement.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Combined with behavioral therapy, prescribed medications can enhance treatment by relieving withdrawal symptoms and focus patients on their recovery.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
MBCT combines mindfulness practices—like meditation—with cognitive therapy techniques to help patients work through negative thought patterns.
Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement Therapy (MET)
This approach is based on idea that motivation to change comes from within. Providers use a conversational framework that may help you commit to recovery.
Relapse Prevention Counseling
Relapse prevention counselors teach patients to recognize the signs of relapse and reduce their risk.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
This cognitive behavioral therapy teaches patients to accept challenging feelings and make the appropriate changes to reach personal goals.
Group Therapy
Two or more people meet with a therapist together. Patients get valuable peer support, strengthen interpersonal skills, and improve self-awareness.
Personalized Treatment
The specific needs, histories, and conditions of individual patients receive personalized, highly relevant care throughout their recovery journey.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Narrative Therapy
Through narrative therapy, patients rewrite past events with a positive focus. They separate themselves from the problem to see their purpose and capabilities.
Relaxation Therapy
Muscle relaxation techniques relax mind and body. They can easily be practiced outside treatment, making it a valuable coping tool for continued recovery.
Expressive Arts
Creative processes like art, writing, or dance use inner creative desires to help boost confidence, emotional growth, and initiate change.
Interpersonal Therapy
This brief and structured therapy addresses present relationships and improves overall communication at work, home, and other social settings.
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Conditions We Treat
Personality Disorders
These disorders affect an individual's way of thinking, feeling, and behaving, often leading to strained relationships and significant emotional distress.
Alcohol
Dependence on alcohol for coping or excessive drinking indicates a disorder that can have serious health and social implications.
Anxiety
Anxiety disorders involve excessive worry and physical symptoms such as tension and elevated blood pressure, often interfering with daily life.
Benzodiazepines
Used for treating anxiety and sleep problems, benzodiazepines can be highly addictive, leading to mood swings and impaired judgement when abused.
Bipolar
Bipolar disorder features intense mood swings from highs (mania) to lows (depression), impacting one's ability to function normally.
Co-Occurring Disorders
When someone has both a mental health disorder and substance abuse issue, it is known as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder.
Cocaine
Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that creates euphoria but can lead to severe health issues like heart problems and psychosis with prolonged use.
Drug Addiction
Substance addiction involves compulsive drug use despite adverse consequences, negatively affecting health, relationships, and daily life.
Ecstasy
Ecstasy, known for inducing intense euphoria and sensory enhancement, can lead to significant issues like insomnia and cognitive impairments when abused.
Heroin
Heroin, an illicit opioid, is highly addictive and can cause severe health issues such as heart problems, insomnia, and collapsed veins.
Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine increases energy and alertness but can cause severe mental and physical health issues, including paranoia and agitation, with long-term use.
Opioids
Opioids, which include prescription painkillers and heroin, can lead to addiction due to their pain-relieving and euphoric effects.
Prescription Drugs
Misuse of prescribed medications, driven by cravings or overuse, can lead to addiction, necessitating professional intervention.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD arises from traumatic events, causing symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts that can persist long after the event.
Synthetic Drugs
Lab-made drugs, unlike natural ones, include stimulants and synthetic cannabinoids, which can have unpredictable and dangerous effects.
Trauma
Traumatic experiences can result in long-lasting mental health challenges, often referred to collectively as trauma, requiring specialized care.
Chronic Relapse
Repeated relapse after periods of recovery from addiction is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment and support.
Stress
While stress can help you adapt to challenges, chronic stress can lead to serious physical and mental health problems that require intervention.
Grief and Loss
Experiencing grief is a natural part of dealing with loss, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can disrupt daily life. Professional help can support recovery.
Depression
Depression ranges from mild to severe, causing feelings of fatigue, numbness, and disinterest in daily activities, impacting overall well-being.
