Detoxification
Detoxification is one of the principle steps in any recovery program. Our experienced staff help you achieve safe, medically managed detoxification in a hospital environment. We offer individualized treatment for withdrawal or medication assisted treatment (MAT) with the use of anti-craving medication that can help address addiction issues and support recovery.
-
Outpatient Treatment
Our outpatient programs focus on learning about addiction, coping skills, and relapse prevention. These programs are offered during daytime and evening hours and take place in a group setting.
-
Recreation Therapy
For people with dependency issues, drugs or alcohol have replaced healthy leisure skills. Our programs focus on rejuvenating skills such as exercise and team building. Our bi-weekly sober outings promote healthy social skills.
-
Relapse Prevention
Identifying and managing relapse triggers is an essential part of recovery. Our patients learn about different social pressures, high-risk situations, cravings, and anger management.
-
Chronic Pain
We are one of the few treatment centers offering specialized care for those dependent on prescription medication because of chronic pain. We strive to meet the physical, psychological and spiritual needs unique to chronic pain.
-
Spiritual Care
We know spirituality is important in the recovery process. That’s why our team includes chaplains who help patients work through spiritual pain and grief issues.
-
Family Care
Our treatment focuses on rebuilding and strengthening family bonds. Family groups can bring together children, parents, and spouses in a setting that helps the entire family unit understand, cope and heal.

Recovery Alumni Association and Sober Living
An independent alumni association help others in their recovery journey. Sober living homes, operated by the Recovery Alumni Association, are available for outpatients in the program.
