Burkwood Treatment Center

Burkwood Treatment Center provides residential and outpatient care for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Set on 3 acres, they offer a private space to begin recovery. They use a range of evidence-based therapies, psychiatric interventions, and peer groups to address addiction and its root causes. Their levels of care include residential and intensive outpatient (IOP) with day and evening sessions, plus access to sober living.

Evidence-Based Therapies Led by Experienced Staff

Burkwood Treatment Center’s staff includes a psychiatrist, nurses, counselors, behavioral health technicians, and a dietician. All work collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans, starting with an initial pre-treatment evaluation. They have a 1:8 counselor-to-client ratio and provide 1:1 counseling at least once a week. Clients also participate in various group sessions, including process groups, skills groups, activity groups (trips to a nearby State Park, men's and women’s yoga), guided imagery, and psychodrama.

Unique MAAEZ and Way of Life System for Burkwood Patients

Burkwood Treatment Center uses the MAAEZ (Making Alcoholics Anonymous Easier) program, which blends traditional 12-Step practices and emerging evidence-based therapies. They also use their Way of Life system, which further combines the 12 Steps and other evidence-based therapies uniquely for clients of Burkwood Treatment Center. Way of Life draws on the 12 Steps, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and more to provide step-by-step guidance throughout treatment. Burkwood Treatment Center additionally offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to address co-occurring trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment and Flexible Outpatient Care

Burkwood Treatment Center treats co-occurring mental health conditions to help clients heal comprehensively. They treat anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. Burkwood Treatment Center’s intensive outpatient program has day and evening sessions for greater flexibility. Their day sessions occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1-4 pm. Evening sessions take place Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6-9 pm. Clients in IOP can live in Burkwood Treatment Center’s sober living homes or in their own home.
