All of their residential and outpatient treatment is framed with both traditional and therapeutic techniques, and they customize each treatment plan to fit the individuality of each client who walks through their doors. Clients can engage in a rich tapestry of healing modalities, ranging from clinically proven acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to art therapy to relapse prevention counseling. Many members of their team—which includes doctors, therapists, dietitians, and nurses—have walked their own paths of recovery, so they bring both expertise and empathy to the healing process.

With separate units dedicated to eating disorders and substance use, staffed by specially-trained professionals, Focus can address the primary needs of each client, including those with co-occurring disorders.
