EXPLORE OUR SERVICES

Our Addiction Treatment Programs

We offer a full continuum of care, meaning we’re equipped to support you through every stage of recovery—from detox to long-term aftercare.

Medical Detox

Detoxification is often the first step in breaking free from addiction. Our medically supervised detox program helps you withdraw safely from substances such as alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Medical staff are available 24/7 to manage symptoms and ensure comfort.

Inpatient (Residential) Treatment

Our residential program provides a structured, healing environment where you can focus fully on recovery. You’ll receive daily therapy, medical care, peer support, and holistic wellness activities that address mind, body, and spirit.

Outpatient Treatment (PHP & IOP)

For clients transitioning from inpatient care—or for those who need a flexible treatment option—our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offer continued therapy while you maintain your responsibilities at home or work.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Addiction often coexists with conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our dual diagnosis program treats both simultaneously, helping you find emotional balance and long-term stability.

Aftercare & Alumni Support

Recovery doesn’t end after treatment—it evolves. We provide personalized aftercare planning, alumni events, and relapse-prevention support to help you stay connected and confident in your sobriety.
