About Starlite Recovery Center
Situated on a sprawling 55-acre campus, Starlite Recovery Center has been a cornerstone of healing since 1957. They believe that recovery is most effective when you are surrounded by a community that truly understands your lived experience. To achieve this, they offer highly specialized tracks tailored to the unique needs of Veterans, First Responders, the LGBTQ+ communiy, and Christian seekers. Starlite Recovery offers detox, residential care, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and telehealth services. They use evidence-based practices to help each client recover from addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Along with addiction, they treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Starlite Recovery Center helps families heal too, with weekly family therapy sessions and educational groups.
Comprehensive And Evidence-Based Treatment
Starlite Recovery Center supervises detox 24/7 with nursing staff and daily visits from their on-site physician. They provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed or desired. Clients have a 1:1 therapy session each week and daily group therapy. They provide 12-Step “Big Book” study, Seeking Safety treatment, Refuge Recovery, and SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training) recovery. Starlite’s evidence-based therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-focused CBT, equine-assisted treatment (EAT) and eye-movement therapy (EMDR).
Specialized Care Tracks
Starlite Recovery provides specialized treatment tracks for Veterans, First Responders, Christians, and LGBTQ clients. Each track focuses on the nuanced needs of each group, offering a culturally competent and compassionate space for each member. Starlite Recovery Center also offers family care for clients’ loved ones. Along with weekly family therapy, families can also attend a 2-day program to learn more about addiction, relapse, communication, codependency, and setting healthy boundaries.
Healing The Mind And Body
Clients at Starlite Recovery Center can enjoy a variety of wellness activities and adventure therapies. They offer yoga, acupuncture, and personal training. Starlite has a ropes course and climbing wall, and a mini golf course. Clients can walk their 55-acre property too, with trails throughout.
