Addiction and Mental Health Care
Women typically begin with a comprehensive assessment and can enter residential treatment, where 60 to 90 day programs provide immersive, 24 hour support in a safe and women only setting. The continuum extends to PHP and IOP services, allowing clients to step down as they gain stability while maintaining intensive therapeutic support. The center can also help you get connected to a detox program if needed.
Treatment integrates evidence based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR and acceptance and commitment therapy with experiential offerings such as equine assisted therapy and adventure therapy, rock climbing and white water rafting.
Holistic services like yoga, acupuncture and nutritional counseling address whole person wellness, while family programming rooted in emotionally focused therapy supports long term healing and relapse prevention.

-
Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies.
