About Borden Cottage

Treatment

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.

Residential

In a residential rehab program, patients live onsite, with access to daily treatment and 24-hour care. An average stay is 30-90 days.

Intensive Family Program

Some rehabs offer intensive programs for loved ones. Group and individual therapy sessions help everyone heal, and improve family dynamics.

Intensive Inpatient

The highest level of care, medically managed intensive inpatient services provides 24-hour nursing and physician care.

Methods

Evidence-Based

A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.

1-on-1 Counseling

Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Meditation & Mindfulness

A practiced state of mind that brings patients to the present. It allows them to become fully aware of themselves, their feelings, and the present moment.

Trauma-Specific Therapy

This form of talk therapy addresses any childhood trauma at the root of a patient's current diagnosis.

Art Therapy

Visual art invites patients to examine the emotions within their work, focusing on the process of creativity and its gentle therapeutic power.

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.

Yoga

Yoga is both a physical and spiritual practice. It includes a flow of movement, breathing techniques, and meditation.

Adventure Therapy

This experiential approach uses the physical and emotional challenges of outdoor activities as tools for personal growth.

Recreation Therapy

In recreation therapy, recovery can be joyful. Patients practice social skills and work through emotional triggers by engaging in fun activities.

Twelve Step Facilitation

12-Step groups offer a framework for addiction recovery. Members commit to a higher power, recognize their issues, and support each other in the healing process.

Stress Management

Patients learn specific stress management techniques, like breathing exercises and how to safely anticipate triggers.

Tai Chi

A self-paced, graceful exercise that aligns physical and mental energy, using ancient Chinese practices for modern-day wellness.

Twelve Step

Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.

Family Involvement

Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Localized magnetic pulses stimulate areas of the brain to increase brain activity and reduce abnormal functions.

Experiential

Expressive tools and therapies help patients process past situations, learn more about themselves, and find healing through action.

Wellness

Wellness philosophies focus on the physical, mental, and spiritual wellness of each patient, helping them restore purpose with natural remedies.

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.

ADHD, ADD

ADHD, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, stems from dopamine irregularities and is a common mental health condition.

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.

Codependency

This behavioral condition involves excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, often seen in relationships involving addiction.

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.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

OCD involves persistent, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors, disrupting daily life and requiring targeted treatment to manage.

Smoking Cessation

Quitting smoking involves stopping the use of nicotine and tobacco products, which significantly benefits overall health and well-being.

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.
