Hope by the Sea - Del O

Inpatient Treatment Without Shedding Work Responsibilities

The executive program is tailored for professionals who need to stay connected to their work and leadership roles while in treatment. Clients have access to phones and computers, flexible scheduling, and private bedrooms, allowing them to prioritize recovery without entirely stepping away from their professional responsibilities.

Addressing Each Person’s Unique Triggers

Gender-specific therapy groups create spaces to safely address the challenges and experiences that men and women often face in different ways, whether that be trauma, family pressures, or mental health. Reducing barriers to vulnerability allows clients to build critical peer connections that support long-term healing. Veterans can also access a specific track to address their experiences and service-related stressors.

Aligning Recovery with Personal Beliefs

Clients may choose from two distinct tracks that reflect their personal values and preferences. A Christian program integrates faith and spiritual care into the recovery process, while the non-Twelve-Step option focuses on secular methods, evidence-based therapies, and life skills development.

Building A Support System at Home

Across the board, families are empowered to engage with their loved one’s recovery journey through counseling and education that strengthens family relationships and recovery in the home.
