Gender-specific residential treatment

The center offers separate dedicated programming for men and women. Groups can include trauma treatment, anger management, emotional awareness, relapse prevention, and parenting support, all tailored to the specific needs of each gender. This structure may work well for clients who feel more comfortable sharing and doing the work of recovery in a same-sex environment. Care plans are also adapted to each clients’ unique needs.

Co-occurring mental health care

Substance use treatment is combined with treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders for clients who need it. A medical and psychological assessment given at the start of treatment helps care staff determine if co-occurring care may be appropriate, especially if a client has not been previously diagnosed. Proven therapeutic approaches involve cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can be prescribed as needed to help ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Life skills and job readiness

Preparing for life after formal treatment is a key focus of the program. Care staff guide clients through practical life skills training, educational support, and vocational training throughout residential and outpatient care. This can help clients return to work and family responsibilities with greater confidence.

Outpatient program and alumni network

After the residential phase, clients can step down to an outpatient program at the same location. Both in-person and virtual attendance options are offered for outpatient care. Once clients graduate, they become part of an alumni network that can provide ongoing peer support and a long-term recovery community.

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.
