Levels of Accessible Treatment
The program offers medically managed detoxification with 24/7 physician and nursing care.

Their inpatient program includes individual and group therapy that focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) allow you more flexibility to balance recovery with your daily responsibilities. You’ll attend nine to 15 hours of weekly therapy, relapse prevention and family counseling to rebuild relationships.
