Inpatient Drug Rehab
Our 24/7 inpatient rehab provides structured care for severe addiction cases. This program combines medical supervision with evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT. Patients receive individualized treatment plans addressing physical dependence and psychological factors. The controlled environment supports detoxification while therapeutic activities promote long-term behavioral change. Clinical staff monitor progress through regular assessments to ensure optimal recovery outcomes.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Specialized care addresses co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. Our integrated approach combines psychiatric care with addiction counseling. Treatment includes medication management for conditions like depression and PTSD alongside behavioral therapies. The program targets interconnected issues through simultaneous treatment, reducing relapse risk. Clinical teams coordinate care between addiction specialists and mental health professionals for comprehensive recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Structured outpatient treatment offers flexible scheduling for ongoing recovery support. Patients attend therapy sessions multiple days weekly while maintaining daily responsibilities. The program includes group therapy, relapse prevention education, and family counseling. Evidence-based modalities like motivational interviewing help sustain sobriety.

The program emphasizes life skills development and community reintegration. Structured routines include house meetings and accountability checks. Graduates receive alumni support to maintain long-term recovery success.
