Low-intensity men’s residential addiction treatment program for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Programming pairs counseling with concrete support for life outside of treatment, helping men establish stable housing, return to work, attend appointments, and build routines after residential treatment. Staff can connect clients with other Gaudenzia programs or outside providers, including withdrawal management (detox), when additional care is needed. This facility accepts Medicaid plans, certain commercial insurance plans, and can assist with county funding.

Men-only residential program focused on lower-intensity treatment and building day-to-day recovery skills

The program treats substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders in a 24-hour men-only residential setting. Treatment is less intensive than hospital-level care and includes individual and group counseling with a combination of several treatment models, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-related counseling, as well as relapse prevention, anger management, and 12-Step facilitation. Medication management is not available on site, though clients can continue medication-supported recovery from outside providers while in treatment.

Practical help and support for rebuilding independence and returning to community life

Counseling is paired with practical support for life outside of treatment. Case management services are available, offering help with housing assistance, employment counseling or training, social skills development, transportation assistance, and accessing social services. This type of support helps address practical barriers that could otherwise complicate transitions back to independent living.

Aftercare and discharge planning

The program helps clients prepare for what happens after their residential stay, providing discharge planning as well as follow-ups after discharge. The Alumni Association provides an opportunity for continued connection, support, and community involvement. Staff can connect clients to other programs offered by the broader Gaudenzia system or to outside providers or programs to meet additional care needs.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
