Residential and Outpatient Treatment

The program offers both residential and outpatient substance use treatment for adults in one coordinated setting. Residential care provides 24/7 structure for people who need intensive support, typically over several weeks. As symptoms and stability improve, clients can step down into intensive or standard outpatient care while staying with the same organization. This makes it easier to match support to changing needs and to balance treatment with work, school, or parenting responsibilities instead of starting over with a new provider.

Integrated Care for Substance Use and Mental Health

The care team treats substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions together. Services can include individual, group, and family counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, anger management, and 12-step work. Substance use screening, mental health screening, and suicide prevention services help identify risks early and guide treatment plans.

Medications for Addiction Treatment and Practical Support

Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available as part of care for alcohol and opioid use disorders. These medications can help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, and support relapse prevention. The program also accepts clients whose medications are prescribed elsewhere and coordinates with outside prescribers. At the same time, case management connects clients with housing resources, social services, and benefits as needed.

Skills, Education, and Recovery-Focused Activities

Clients can participate in substance use education, health education, and guidance on topics like HIV, hepatitis, and tobacco use. Life-skills development and employment counseling or training help clients prepare to return to work or school and manage daily responsibilities more confidently. Group work may include 12-step-based meetings, relapse prevention, and peer support.

Ongoing Care and Safety Planning

Care continues beyond the residential stay through aftercare, continuing care, and outpatient or intensive outpatient (IOP) services. Discharge planning, recovery support groups, mentoring, and self-help connections are built into the process. Naloxone and overdose education add another layer of safety for clients and families.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
