Comprehensive, Tiered Recovery Support

The center provides a structured approach to recovery through its yearlong, three-tier program. Beginning with a 12-week intensive outpatient program (IOP), clients progress to a 28-week early recovery group and complete treatment with a 12-week relapse prevention program. This design offers consistent therapeutic support during the first year of recovery, helping individuals build stability and confidence over time.

Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Care

Care is designed to address the full impact of substance use, recognizing how past experiences shape present challenges. Staff build treatment plans around each person’s strengths, using approaches supported by research to create lasting change. The trauma-informed framework ensures that clients can openly process experiences without fear of judgment. Through this approach, the center helps clients develop practical tools for navigating daily life and rebuilding self-worth.

Integrated Support for Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

Programs address substance use and co-occurring mental health issues together. Clients receive coordinated care that blends therapeutic strategies, skill-building, and education to help them understand how these conditions interact. Individual, group, and family sessions provide a safe space to explore patterns, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. This equips clients with practical coping tools and fosters emotional resilience.

Holistic and Complementary Therapies

Alongside evidence-based treatment, the center offers holistic practices designed to restore balance to both mind and body. Clients may participate in yoga to improve flexibility and reduce stress, mindfulness meditation to increase emotional awareness, and acupuncture to promote relaxation and ease physical tension. Aromatherapy introduces calming scents to enhance mood, while Reiki provides gentle, energy-based healing. These therapies work together to help reduce cravings and allow clients to reconnect with their bodies.

Recovery Housing for Men

At a separate location, the center offers recovery housing for men, combining sober living with a structured daily routine. Residents share responsibility for daily chores, attend weekly house meetings, and participate in both 12-step and science-based SMART Recovery meetings. Monthly volunteer activities encourage community engagement, while optional services such as acupuncture treatments and religious services support holistic wellness. The program creates a supportive environment where men can strengthen recovery skills and work toward independent living.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
