Live Oak Detox

Getting to the Root of Trauma to Address Co-Occurring Disorders

Treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders begins with medically supervised detox and continues into residential programming, ensuring that withdrawal management and emotional stabilization happen together. Trauma therapy is central to recovery for clients, offering both counseling and evidence-based therapies to help clients address the root causes of substance use while building strategies for managing mental health symptoms and triggers of relapse.

Family Collaboration to Build Effective Support Networks After Treatment

Family therapy sessions are offered to improve communication and strengthen support systems. Regular progress updates keep families informed, while structured sessions create a safe space to work on relationship dynamics. A dedicated family program helps prepare both clients and relatives for life after residential treatment, laying groundwork for healthier connections and ongoing recovery.

Curated Nutrition at the Heart of Health and Wellness

Clients have access to yoga, exercise opportunities, and nutrition counseling led by a dietician. Nutritious meals are prepared daily by the on-site chef, reinforcing the role of wellness in recovery. These activities are designed to support healing of both body and mind, leading to healthier routines that can continue beyond treatment.

Hands-On Relapse Prevention Training

Educational workshops and counseling sessions focus on identifying triggers, managing cravings, and practicing healthier coping skills to prevent relapse. Clients develop individualized relapse prevention plans that extend beyond their stay, supported by aftercare planning that connects them to outpatient providers, peer groups, or other recovery resources. By combining skills training with community support, clients feel equipped to maintain sobriety and reduce the risk relapse.
