Prioritizing Detox and Stabilization for Further Recovery

Treatment offers 24/7 medically supervised detox and residential crisis stabilization for adults with substance use disorders. Services are available for those withdrawing from opioids, alcohol, stimulants, and other substances. Care is trauma-informed and includes evidence-based therapies, while medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone in both oral and injectable forms, are used when appropriate to reduce withdrawal symptoms and support stabilization.

Engaging Families to Build Strong Support Networks

Family therapy is available to bring loved ones into the recovery process. Sessions focus on communication, education on substance use disorders, opioid overdose prevention, and developing strategies for ongoing support. Loved ones even receive counseling to help keep those in recovery motivated to maintain healthier lifestyles. This helps families understand the challenges of addiction and prepare to provide stable, informed support after discharge.

Connection to Long-Term Support Following Discharge

Care coordination services assist clients with planning for continued recovery after leaving the program. These can include connections to housing, medical and behavioral health providers, vocational resources, educational programs, and public benefits. These services are designed to reduce barriers to recovery and support stability in the community.
