This center offers a range of treatment options for adults including detox, acute inpatient care, psychiatric inpatient programming, an intensive outpatient program, and an inpatient program for chemical dependency and addiction. For their medical detox program, patients will receive 24/7 supervision to ensure safety and minimize discomfort. Individuals can transition right from detox to the residential chemical dependency program. This program is highly structured and incorporates principles and practices of the 12-Step Recovery Model along with Living in Balance curriculum and the Recovery Dynamics program.

The program is tailored for active-duty military, active reserve, retired military personnel, and active-duty dependents.
