What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Assessments and client involvement: When clients arrive, care staff perform physical, psychological, and social evaluations. Results are used to form the treatment plan with full client input and participation.
• Real-time adjustments: Clinicians monitor clients throughout their stay and can make changes to treatment plans as needed, including adjustments to medications and therapy schedules.

Who you will meet with

• Admissions coordinator: Serves as clients’ primary point of contact throughout treatment.
• Detox counselor: Offers guidance and support during the withdrawal management (detox) phase.
• Medical team: Nurses and other medical professionals perform evaluations, support withdrawal management, manage medications, and tend to overall health needs.
• Therapists: Clients usually have one individual therapy session per week, though this can be increased based on individual needs. Therapists and counselors also lead interactive group sessions.
• Psychiatric nurse practitioner: Provides psychiatric evaluations and treatment for clients with co-occurring mental health conditions.
• Case manager: Handles practical needs such as aftercare planning and follow-up treatment coordination.

Typical schedule

• Detox: The withdrawal management phase usually lasts about a week, but this can vary based on individual circumstances. This phase is dedicated to rest, hydration, nutrition, and medical stabilization. Clients can join therapy groups if they feel up to it.
• Residential days: Schedules can vary day to day and consist of meals, medical check-ins, group therapy, education sessions, mindfulness, restorative recreation, community time, and evening 12-Step recovery meetings.
• Therapeutic approaches: The center’s approach is focused around ACT, but also includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma counseling. Family therapy and support groups are also offered.

Living experiences and amenities

• Hotel-like accommodations: The center is built for up to 70 clients but often serves a smaller census. Private rooms are offered for withdrawal management. In residential care, clients share bedrooms and bathrooms with one roommate.
• Recreation: Activities include basketball, ping-pong, cornhole, and access to an on-site gym.
• Group outings: Staff may take clients on group excursions such as beach trips, bowling, pizza nights, and trips to the movies.

Aftercare

• Early discharge planning: Planning for discharge can begin immediately from intake. Case managers enter client preferences into their notes to begin making arrangements for continuing care as early as possible.
• Step-down arrangements: The center partners with providers of partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and can set clients up with outpatient options that work with their needs.
