Life Skills Training and Wellness Activities for Whole Person Healing
In addition to evidence-based psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy, clients can engage in yoga and life-skills training. These practices complement therapy by building coping tools, emotional regulation, and daily routines—supports that are especially useful for managing anxiety, trauma symptoms, and day-to-day stress while in treatment or stepping down in care.
Peer Connection Without Compromising Privacy
Support groups and structured group services provide opportunities to connect with peers who are working toward similar goals. This community element can help reduce isolation and reinforce recovery skills between sessions. Where appropriate, clients may also participate in individualized therapy alongside group-based support to balance privacy and peer connection.
Routine Follow-Up After Treatment Keeps Alumni Engaged in Recovery
Regular follow-ups are a built-in part of care to monitor progress, adjust medications, and update treatment plans over time. This ongoing contact supports stability after discharge and helps clients sustain gains as they transition between levels of care. The program’s combination of therapy, skills practice, and continued check-ins is designed to reinforce long-term recovery.
Engaging Dual Diagnosis Care
Staff help clients address anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, personality disorders, and other conditions, with individualized therapy and medication management as needed. This integrated approach helps ensure mental health and substance use concerns are addressed together.
