Services
Medical Detox
Our supervised medical detox program safely manages withdrawal symptoms through medication-assisted treatment and continuous monitoring. Certified professionals address physical dependencies while preparing patients for long-term recovery. The process typically lasts 5-7 days, with personalized care plans for alcohol, opioids, and prescription drug addictions.
Individual Counseling
Weekly one-on-one therapy sessions employ evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT to address addiction's root causes. Counselors help patients develop coping strategies, process trauma, and build relapse prevention skills in confidential settings.
Group Therapy
Structured group sessions foster peer support through shared experiences and skill-building exercises. Programs include anger management, life skills training, and 12-step facilitation to promote social reintegration and accountability.
Family Programs
Our family-focused initiatives include counseling sessions and educational workshops to repair relationships and build support networks. Programs address codependency patterns and teach healthy communication strategies for lasting recovery.
Continuing Care
Post-treatment support includes alumni events, relapse prevention planning, and community resource referrals. We maintain long-term connections through regular check-ins and access to recovery coaches for sustained sobriety.
