Detox as the First Step

Treatment begins with a clinically managed detox, offering a safe environment for individuals withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, or other substances. Medical monitoring, nutrition, and rest help stabilize the body and mind while preparing clients for the next phase of care. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can be prescribed for opioids. This structured detox supports those who are medically stable but need supervision and encouragement to move forward in recovery.

Supportive Residential Treatment

Following detox, clients transition into short-term residential treatment. Care includes over 42 hours each week of evidence-based therapy, one-on-one and group counseling, educational sessions, and recovery-focused activities. The program emphasizes both accountability and compassion, offering a steady framework where individuals can connect with peers and begin reshaping daily habits in a supportive environment.

A Community-Centered Approach

For many individuals, isolation can fuel addiction. The center responds by encouraging a sense of brotherhood and connection through peer support and 12-step facilitation. Clients are encouraged to participate in meetings and recovery groups where they can share experiences, build trust, and develop a lasting network of support.

Family and Values in Recovery

Recognizing that addiction affects loved ones as well, the program strongly encourages family involvement. Regularly scheduled Family Days invite relatives to participate in therapy, learn about substance use disorders, and rebuild communication. This connection helps clients return home with healthier relationships. For those seeking a values-based approach, the 12-step framework integrates spiritual growth as part of long-term healing.

Preparing for Life After Treatment

Relapse prevention training equips individuals with the tools to recognize triggers and manage stress without substances. Life-skills development and employment counseling help clients prepare for stability beyond treatment, while a strong alumni network featuring gatherings and recreational activities keeps them connected to others walking the same path. Once clients have completed one year of substance-free living, they are invited back to the center to help guide current clients.
