Culturally Sensitive and Inclusive Healing
The Indigenous Wellness Framework blends traditional, indigenous, and cultural practices with modern treatment. Clients may participate in sweat lodge ceremonies, medicine wheel teachings, community workshops, and traditional arts and crafts. These offerings are guided by cultural advisors and rooted in respect for Indigenous traditions. Designed to support Indigenous clients, the program is inclusive and open to anyone seeking a more spiritual or community-centered path to recovery.
Outpatient Mental Health to Empower Real World Recovery
The facility specializes in treating both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Trauma-informed counseling, evidence-based theories, and stress management strategies are integrated into daily programming to help clients understand triggers and build healthier coping skills. Treatment helps clients stay accountable in their mental health goals, complete psychiatric evaluations, and manage relationships.
Creative, Hands-On Approaches to Therapy
Clients engage in creative and experiential approaches such as art therapy, music therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and yoga. These therapies provide alternative ways to process emotions, reduce stress, and develop self-awareness. For many, especially trauma survivors or younger clients who respond well to varied hands-on modalities, these options create meaningful breakthroughs and help sustain engagement in treatment.
Flexible Levels of Treatment Ends with Accountability Community in Aftercare
The facility offers a full continuum of services so that clients do not have to leave support prematurely. After discharge, clients receive personalized relapse-prevention planning, continued therapy or referrals, and access to a strong alumni network. Weekly alumni meetings, community meals, and ongoing check-ins help maintain long-term recovery and connection well beyond treatment.
