Their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) bridges the gap between residential and traditional low-level outpatient treatment by offering structured, evidence-based therapies while allowing clients to return home each evening. Upon arrival, clients are warmly welcomed with a facility tour, check-in by a behavioral health technician, and introductions to their care team. Treatment begins with a personalized plan that tackles the root causes of addiction through individual counseling, group therapy, and skill-building workshops.

This holistic approach treats substance use and co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, ensuring a dual-diagnosis focus that promotes both mental and physical recovery.
Recovery That Includes Your Family
Family involvement is a cornerstone of the program, with therapy sessions and resources designed to empower loved ones to actively support the recovery process. These services strengthen communication and relationships, fostering a supportive environment for lasting success.
