Getting to the Root of Trauma to Address Co-Occurring Disorders

Treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders begins with medically supervised detox and continues into residential programming, ensuring that withdrawal management and emotional stabilization happen together. Trauma therapy is central to recovery for clients, offering both counseling and evidence-based therapies to help clients address the root causes of substance use while building strategies for managing mental health symptoms and triggers of relapse.

Family Collaboration to Build Effective Support Networks After Treatment

Family therapy sessions are offered to improve communication and strengthen support systems. Regular progress updates keep families informed, while structured sessions create a safe space to work on relationship dynamics. A dedicated family program helps prepare both clients and relatives for life after residential treatment, laying groundwork for healthier connections and ongoing recovery.

Curated Nutrition at the Heart of Health and Wellness

Clients have access to yoga, exercise opportunities, and nutrition counseling led by a dietician. Nutritious meals are prepared daily by the on-site chef, reinforcing the role of wellness in recovery. These activities are designed to support healing of both body and mind, leading to healthier routines that can continue beyond treatment.

Hands-On Relapse Prevention Training

Educational workshops and counseling sessions focus on identifying triggers, managing cravings, and practicing healthier coping skills to prevent relapse. Clients develop individualized relapse prevention plans that extend beyond their stay, supported by aftercare planning that connects them to outpatient providers, peer groups, or other recovery resources. By combining skills training with community support, clients feel equipped to maintain sobriety and reduce the risk relapse.

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.
