Purposeful Recovery Environment

The center is specifically built for detox and residential treatment services. The 22,000-square-foot campus was designed to combine medical safety with a comfortable client experience. Rooms include flat-screen TVs and ergonomic furniture. Amenities range from a fireplace great room to a dedicated recreation space. Meal services are available 24/7, with dietary accommodations such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Private room options with WiFi are available for clients who need to stay connected to career and personal responsibilities in a discreet setting.

Detox and Residential Treatment

The center specializes in helping adults safely navigate withdrawal and transition into early recovery. Medically monitored detox is supported by physicians, nurses, and behavioral health professionals who can provide medications for addiction treatment (MAT) to ease symptoms and cravings when needed. Once stabilized, clients can move into residential treatment. Daily schedules include individual counseling, group therapy, and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention planning. Education on self-help and mindfulness is also provided.

Holistic and Experiential Therapies

Recognizing that recovery involves mind, body, and spirit, the center incorporates multiple holistic therapies into treatment plans. Clients have opportunities to go on weekend group outings and may take part in yoga, meditation, art, and music therapy. Equine therapy is offered for clients who want a nonverbal, emotionally regulating, healing experience with horses. These practices encourage stress management and creativity as part of healing. Outdoor activities such as hiking, adventure outings, and beach walks bring connection with nature and support physical wellness.

Family and Community Support

Couples and family therapy sessions help loved ones practice healthier communication and understand their role in recovery. Education covers family dynamics, coping skills, and relapse warning signs. During and after residential care, clients can join on-site support meetings and receive peer mentoring. They can also stay connected through alumni groups and events, including private online communities. Follow-up continues with recovery coaches, family follow-up counseling, and in-person or virtual check-ins.

Aftercare and Ongoing Recovery Planning

The center emphasizes careful preparation for next steps. Services include discharge planning, naloxone and overdose education, and connections to continuing care as needed. Clients may also access self-help groups and alumni gatherings. This focus on aftercare helps ensure that progress made during detox and residential treatment extends into long-term stability.
