All guests shall be evaluated for an in-depth mental health assessment, and training shall be provided to all individuals to assist them in managing symptoms of their disorders. Before treatment services begin, the staff will conduct an intake evaluation, which they will use to develop an individualized treatment plan based on the person’s addiction and mental health condition.

Guests meet with a therapist 1:1 one time per week to work on their individual needs as outlined in their treatment plan.

All treatment plans are individualized and focus on acute stabilization and transition to community outpatient treatment and support groups as needed. Treatment teams prepare a person for discharge by creating an aftercare plan, which consists of relapse prevention tactics, such as support groups, 12-step programs, sober living homes, or group or individual counseling. The treatment team offers coordination with collateral contacts and care management/discharge planning services, which occurs regularly throughout the treatment and on an as-needed basis. Active family/natural supports involvement is important unless contraindicated.

Upon completion of residential care, guests can step-down into lower levels of care such as the Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, or Outpatient treatment.
