Care historically began with psychiatric and medical evaluations, and clients could enter medically monitored detox with 24/7 nursing and access to a psychiatric medical team.
From there, individuals transitioned into residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and aftercare.
When the facility was open, programs were notably intensive, including three weekly individual therapy sessions and roughly 50 therapeutic hours per week.
Clinical approaches blended CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR and family therapy with experiential and holistic modalities such as equine therapy, somatic experiencing, yoga and sound therapy.
