Levels of Care
Clinically Managed Social Detox
The first step in treatment is detoxification - removing the toxic substance from the body. Symptoms that persons will experience during withdrawal will vary due to individual circumstance that include the type/quantity/frequency of use, health status of the person, etc. Our detox services are designed for those individuals who are medically stable yet need a structured environment to support and promote their healing process and help plan for future needs. Primary focus during this time is on provision of proper nutrition, rest, monitoring of psychological functioning and assessing the overall needs of the person. As a person's psychological and physical functioning permits, they are invited to participate in any, or all, of the treatment groups and activities within the facility.
Short-Term Residential Treatment
Individualized treatment planning and self-discovery assignments are tailored to the unique needs and strengths of each person. Clients participate in a minimum of 24 hours of scheduled therapeutic interventions per week. Included in this individual therapy, group therapy, family/couples therapy, educational programming and networking with the 12-step community.
