Healing in a Soothing, Natural Environment

The center offers outpatient treatment in a setting designed to promote calm and clarity. The surrounding oak trees, native wildflowers, and open trails are intentionally integrated into the recovery experience. Clients often take part in outdoor activities like guided nature walks and meditation sessions beneath the trees, helping them reconnect with their environment and themselves. This peaceful backdrop supports emotional regulation and provides a grounding contrast to the stressors of daily life.

Step-Down Outpatient Treatment

The center offers a full spectrum of outpatient care to support clients at every stage of recovery. Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is the most structured option, with a full-day program focused on skill-building and therapeutic treatment. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) provides several sessions per week, balancing flexibility with consistent support. Regular outpatient care offers weekly or biweekly sessions, depending on individual client needs. Across all levels, clients receive personalized care plans, evidence-based therapies, and education on healthy routines. Clients can transition to the next step as their needs evolve while staying anchored in a consistent environment.

Integrated Care for Mental Health and Substance Use

All programs are built on the understanding that addiction and mental health are deeply connected. Upon admission, each client receives physical and mental assessments so staff can adapt care plans to specific needs. Evidence-based treatments and trauma-informed therapy are provided to address the emotional drivers behind substance use. Small group sessions and one-on-one counseling help clients process past experiences and build practical coping strategies. Medications can also be prescribed when appropriate.

Equine, Creative, and Experiential Therapies

Programs incorporate a wealth of activities to engage the body and mind. Clients may participate in yoga, guided meditation, art, music, and fitness. A standout offering is equine therapy, where clients interact with horses to build trust, increase self-awareness, and process emotions in a nonverbal way. These therapies can help clients explore new coping strategies and experience healing through action. The goal is to support lasting recovery by treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Family Support and Involvement

Family therapy is a core part of the healing process. Sessions are designed to help family members better understand addiction and mental health and improve communication. Therapists work with families to address long-standing patterns of conflict while promoting healthy boundaries. Clients and loved ones learn practical tools to support one another during and after treatment. Weekly Family Night sessions offer space for education and group dialogue.

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.
