Specialized Support for Complex Needs

This facility doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Its programming is specifically equipped to serve clients facing overlapping challenges, including veterans, active-duty military, trauma survivors, and those living with chronic pain or co-occurring mental illness. Dedicated trauma-informed therapies, including counseling for those affected by domestic or sexual violence, signal a strong commitment to psychological healing alongside substance use recovery.

Skills and Structure for A Strong Foundation

Clients receive daily clinical care, regular individualized treatment planning workshops, and interactive education sessions in a structured and routine setting, all designed to support stability in early recovery. On-site medical staff provide consistent engagement through monitoring and therapy in this program designed to teach clients fundamental skills for a strong and balanced recovery that lasts after treatment.

Hands-On Aftercare Planning and Alumni Network

The facility provides a range of transitional services to help clients maintain progress in the real world. These include recovery coaching, peer mentoring, assistance navigating housing and social services, and employment counseling. Clients also receive overdose education and post-discharge follow-up, helping them stay connected to care and community support. The alumni network helps individuals who went through the program fill crucial gaps that support recovery, whether helping clients with clothing or financial assistance for those entering sober living housing.
