The center provides standard and ambulatory medical detox services to help clients safely withdraw from opioids, alcohol and other substances while under supervision. A team of multi-disciplinary providers performs psychiatric evaluations upon admission to understand client symptoms and develop individualized treatment plans.
If clients require medication-assisted treatment to manage the physical pain of withdrawal, providers can administer FDA-approved addiction medications, including buprenorphine and naltrexone (Vivitrol) as necessary. These medications also help reduce drug cravings and minimize relapse risk.
Staff provide age-specific services to support clients at every stage of recovery. This includes designated inpatient units, where clients can receive short-term crisis intervention care, medication management, psychiatric support and therapeutic counseling. As clients transition into outpatient treatment, they can participate in individual, family and group therapy; neuropsychological evaluations; life-skills training; and similar programs.
Staff provide a complete continuum of post-recovery care with services that include referrals to other healthcare providers, transportation assistance, medication assistance and peer support groups.
