Programming for medical professionals

Physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals can receive specialized care through the facility's dedicated healthcare professionals program. It begins with an in-depth 72-hour diagnostic evaluation that includes medical, psychiatric, psychological, laboratory, family, and addiction assessments. It also includes profession-specific Caduceus groups, work re-entry planning, and compliance reporting to licensing boards if needed.

Abstinence-based recovery with 12-step support

Care focuses on an abstinence-based philosophy and the 12-step model. This includes connecting patients with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) contacts prior to discharge. Family members are also connected to various support groups such as Al-Anon and Families Anonymous to help them during their loved one’s recovery.

Individualized care with a full continuum of services

Clients are continually reassessed and care plans readjusted during treatment using ASAM criteria. Offering a full range of care, including an overnight component for PHP, the facility provides the opportunity for clients to step down in care as needed under one organization.

Beyond traditional therapy

Treatment is conducted by a multidisciplinary team that may include a psychologist, addiction counselor, medical staff, and spiritual counselor. Beyond traditional therapy sessions, clients may be able to participate in lectures, recreational activities, yoga, swimming, and off-site activities that support their physical health. Clients in PHP may also be supported with additional psychiatric assessments, medication management, family counseling, and family education sessions.

Education for clients and families

Education is a pillar for treatment at this facility. Loved ones have the opportunity to take part in continued educational programming, including "Ask the Doc," which are sessions led by a physician that explain addiction, its impact on family members, and provide information about recovery support through 12-step family resources.

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.
