Our Approach

We Treat The Whole Person

While we specialize in addiction treatments we often work with individuals who have dual diagnosis

We treat the whole person, working with adolescents and young adults, their parents and families, schools and other providers.

• Comprehensive assessments start at intake, when we make an initial recommendation for treatment, and continue throughout the next 90 days. This assessment informs the ongoing treatment plan, identifying issues and noting treatments that are effective for that person.

• Highly individualized treatment plans, tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances, can include a combination of individual, group, and family therapies, as well as support making lifestyle changes. We also offer drug and alcohol testing and medication to reduce cravings for substances. 

• Our recovery-oriented approach is informed by nearly 40 years of professional experience showing that the skills developed in the treatment and recovery process equip adolescents and young adults to embrace sobriety and live healthy, whole, and meaningful lives.  Hope, self-determination, and empowerment are embedded in our work. We take pride in our patients’ growth and development and encourage them to do the same. 

• Reality-based, data driven. When we recommend that patients invest time and effort into any treatment, they can trust that our recommendations are based on research, industry best practices, and our own experience. We hold ourselves accountable through partnerships with research institutions, as well as our own data collection.
