12-Step Focus and Gender-Specific Residential Care
Programs integrate the 12 steps into daily structure, offering Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings that support peer accountability and spiritual growth. Residential care is gender-specific, creating safer, more focused environments for men and women to explore sensitive issues like trauma and triggers related to their experiences. This setting supports openness in group therapy and helps create a strong sense of community.
Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Coordinated treatment is provided for individuals facing both substance use and mental health conditions, including serious mental health disorders. Residential programming includes on-site psychiatric support and therapy tailored to stabilize acute symptoms while addressing addiction. Staff work across disciplines to align care plans, ensuring that therapeutic, medical, and behavioral interventions reinforce one another. This integrated model helps reduce the risk of treatment gaps and supports long-term recovery by treating the full scope of clients’ needs.
Specialized Residential Program for Veterans
Pyramid’s Military Therapy & Recovery Program offers residential care adapted for veterans transitioning to civilian life. Clients engage in individual, family, and group therapy grounded in military culture, alongside peer support from fellow veterans. Evidence-based therapies and medication-assisted treatment are woven into personalized plans. Holistic options such as mindfulness, movement, and creative arts are incorporated to support healing. The nonjudgmental environment is designed to help veterans rebuild relationships, manage triggers, and prepare for reintegration.
Criminal Justice Re-Entry Services
The center’s re-entry program offers structured support for individuals transitioning from the legal system. It includes coordinated case management with courts, parole, and probation, and schedules treatment to begin aligned with release dates. Clients receive medication-assisted care, therapeutic treatment, and parole/probation updates. Aftercare planning includes halfway housing, relapse prevention, and compliance reporting to help clients meet legal requirements while rebuilding stability.
Patient Reviews
Feedback on the facility is mixed. Some former clients credit the program with transforming their lives and particularly highlight the value of veteran-specific care and dedicated staff. Others report issues with amenities, food quality, and staff responsiveness. This range of reviews suggests a program with meaningful impact for some, but operational areas that may require further attention.
