Innovative Holistic Therapies

Advanced holistic therapies are offered to support emotional healing and nervous system regulation. Psychodrama sessions allow clients to explore past experiences through roleplay, helping them process trauma and shift unhealthy behavioral patterns. Biosound therapy combines sound frequencies, guided meditation, and biofeedback to reduce anxiety, ease withdrawal symptoms, and promote deep relaxation. Neurofeedback training helps clients rewire brainwave activity associated with stress, addiction, and emotional dysregulation. These therapies complement clinical treatment by fostering body-mind awareness, emotional resilience, and calm. Each approach is personalized, offering clients nonverbal pathways to healing.

Professional Intervention Services

The center offers structured, family-focused intervention services for loved ones struggling to initiate treatment. Led by certified interventionists, the process includes pre-intervention planning, in-person or virtual facilitation, and post-intervention support. Families receive coaching on how to set boundaries and communicate effectively, helping shift the dynamic from conflict to compassion. Interventions are tailored to the individual’s readiness and history, with a focus on encouraging voluntary participation in care. Whether it’s a formal gathering or a more discreet approach, the goal is to break through denial and begin the recovery journey with clarity, support, and professional guidance.

Trauma-Informed Care for Veterans and First Responders

Dedicated tracks are offered for both veterans and first responders, addressing trauma through a combination of evidence-based therapy and peer support. Veterans engage in individual and group sessions that explore combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), moral injury, and reintegration challenges. First responders receive care tailored to the high-stress, high-stakes nature of their work, including treatment for cumulative trauma, sleep disruption, and substance use linked to job-related exposure. Both groups benefit from working with staff who understand their unique challenges, as well as structured environments that promote trust, resilience, and long-term emotional recovery.

Family Therapy and Support

At Design for Change, family involvement is a core part of the recovery process. The facility offers structured family therapy that addresses the emotional toll addiction takes on loved ones and helps rebuild trust and communication. Sessions include education on boundary setting and tools for healthier relationships. Families can participate in multi-day workshops or ongoing counseling, often alongside the client’s treatment. By involving loved ones early and often, the program fosters a unified approach to healing — one that strengthens support systems, reduces relapse risk, and equips families to sustain recovery long after treatment ends.

Patient Experience and Lasting Impact

Clients describe their time at Design for Change as transformative. Many extend their stay from detox to months-long treatment — not out of necessity, but from a desire to deepen their recovery. “I came for detox and stayed five months,” wrote one former client, “and left with lifelong friends.” With structured life skills workshops, emotional support, and long-term stability as priorities, the experience here is built for a meaningful life after treatment.
