What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Admissions assessment: Treatment begins with an assessment to decide what type of treatment or level of care would best fit each client.
• Creating a care plan: Licensed professionals review mental health, medical, and substance use history so that the treatment team can build a care plan for each client. Clients are also assigned a counselor who helps review care plans based on their needs.
• Ongoing treatment review: Clients meet with their treatment team for daily huddles to review progress and goals, and treatment teams meet once a week to evaluate client progress and adjust care plans and goals.

Typical schedule

• Structured residential routine: Clients can expect a highly structured day with regular mealtimes, group meetings, and one-on-one counseling, with a total of about 35-40 hours of weekly programming.
• Therapy and education options: Clients benefit from individual sessions with addiction and mental health counselors, and group and educational therapy with topics covering relapse prevention, life skills, coping skills, family education, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Who you will meet with

• Counselors and mental health staff: Clients work with an addiction counselor and mental health counselor for co-occurring disorder care.
• Nursing and medical support: Licensed nursing staff help provide medical support during residential treatment.
