Avenues Recovery Detox and Drug Rehab at Dublin

Supportive, Homelike Environment with Outdoor Activities

The center offers a full range of trauma-informed, dual-diagnosis care, from medication-assisted detox through residential and outpatient programs. Sleeping areas are gender-separate in private or shared rooms, and clients come together for family-style meals. Hiking, wilderness therapy, gardening, sports, and other recreational and holistic therapies are offered. Residential treatment lasts at least one month and can continue up to a few months depending on client needs. Outpatient care includes both in-person and virtual options.

12-Step Foundation and Family Involvement

Programs feature onsite 12-step meetings including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), strong peer support, mentorship, and an emphasis on mutual accountability. Family participation and connection are woven into care plans. Loved ones are encouraged to join clients in family and couples counseling sessions. During inpatient treatment, clients can talk to their loved ones as often as needed with the approval of their personal counselor.

Comprehensive Aftercare Planning

From the beginning of treatment, the staff creates aftercare plans adapted to each client’s needs. These include finding a primary care doctor and therapist, connection with local 12-step and other community support groups, and help securing housing as needed. Employment guidance is also provided, including assistance with resumes, applications, and preparation for reentering the workforce.

Thriving Alumni Community

After discharge, clients are encouraged to become part of an active alumni network. This offers a way to form lasting friendships and find mutual support. Alumni organize frequent events and recreational outings and participate in weekly group meetings, either in person or online. An online network where members can chat with each other is also available. Counselors regularly check in on clients’ progress to see how they are doing and provide additional guidance.
