Our Approach to Care

Our programs are designed to meet individuals at various stages of recovery, providing individualized, evidence-based support every step of the way. Whether you’re seeking structured treatment or outpatient care, our focus remains the same: helping you and your family build lasting stability and hope.

  • Long-Term Extended Care: This level of care combines a PHP model with highly structured living, creating a supportive environment between residential treatment and an IOP or PHP with sober living
  • SUD Intensive Outpatient (IOP): Our IOP provides structured therapy and support for individuals struggling with addiction, while allowing them to maintain daily responsibilities like work, school, or family life.
  • Mental Health Intensive Outpatient (IOP): This program focuses on individuals experiencing mental health challenges, offering group and individual therapy, coping skill development, and clinical support without requiring full-time residential care.
  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): PHP delivers the highest level of outpatient care, providing full-day, structured treatment for addiction or mental health needs. It serves as a step down from residential care or as a step up for those who require more support than IOP.
  • Family Programming: Family programming involves education, counseling, and support groups designed to help families understand addiction and mental health challenges. It strengthens family relationships and equips loved ones to play an active role in recovery.
  • SUD IOP with Sober Living: This program integrates intensive outpatient treatment for substance use with the accountability and structure of sober living housing. It allows clients to practice recovery skills in a safe, supportive living environment while attending treatment.
