Levels of Care

Residential

In a residential rehab program, patients live onsite, with access to daily treatment and 24-hour care. An average stay is 30-90 days.

Detox (on-site with residential)

This is often the first step of addiction treatment. For many people, it's dangerous to detox without proper medical support.

Methods

Evidence-Based

A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.

Holistic

A non-medicinal, wellness-focused approach that aims to align the mind, body, and spirit for deep and lasting healing.

Individual Treatment

Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.

1-on-1 Counseling

Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Meditation & Mindfulness

A practiced state of mind that brings patients to the present. It allows them to become fully aware of themselves, their feelings, and the present moment.

Animal Therapy

Animals can inspire trust and self-worth. In this experiential therapy, guided interactions are used to improve social skills and emotion regulation.

Equine Therapy

Guided interactions with trained horses, their handler, and a therapist can help patients improve their self-esteem, trust, empathy, and social skills.

Life Skills

Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Combined with behavioral therapy, prescribed medications can enhance treatment by relieving withdrawal symptoms and focus patients on their recovery.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT combines mindfulness practices—like meditation—with cognitive therapy techniques to help patients work through negative thought patterns.

Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement Therapy (MET)

This approach is based on idea that motivation to change comes from within. Providers use a conversational framework that may help you commit to recovery.

Nutrition Counseling

Nutritious food helps patients heal from within, setting them up for mental and bodily wellness as they learn about healthy eating.

Relapse Prevention Counseling

Relapse prevention counselors teach patients to recognize the signs of relapse and reduce their risk.

Surf Therapy

Surf therapy promotes body awareness, mindfulness, and self-confidence. Because sessions begin with surf lessons, this treatment is appropriate for beginners.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

This cognitive behavioral therapy teaches patients to accept challenging feelings and make the appropriate changes to reach personal goals.

Group Therapy

Two or more people meet with a therapist together. Patients get valuable peer support, strengthen interpersonal skills, and improve self-awareness.

Yoga

Yoga is both a physical and spiritual practice. It includes a flow of movement, breathing techniques, and meditation.

Adventure Therapy

This experiential approach uses the physical and emotional challenges of outdoor activities as tools for personal growth.

Family Therapy

Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.

Twelve Step Facilitation

12-Step groups offer a framework for addiction recovery. Members commit to a higher power, recognize their issues, and support each other in the healing process.

Experiential Therapy

With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.

Canine Therapy

Friendly dogs provide a pleasant therapeutic experience, helping patients who've experienced trauma or separations build social and communication skills.

Experiential

Expressive tools and therapies help patients process past situations, learn more about themselves, and find healing through action.
