SpectraCare Health Systems - The Haven

Short-Term Residential Care Within a Regional Nonprofit System

SpectraCare Health Systems – The Haven provides short-term, 24-hour residential substance use treatment in Dothan, Alabama. Operated by a nonprofit behavioral health organization serving multiple counties in Southeast Alabama, the program is designed for adults who need a structured setting and consistent daily support. Being part of a larger regional system allows The Haven to focus on stabilization while supporting connections to ongoing care after discharge.

Structured Daily Environment Focused on Stability

The Haven’s residential program offers a predictable routine in a closely monitored environment, which can be especially helpful for individuals seeking distance from daily stressors while working on recovery. The setting emphasizes safety, accountability, and engagement throughout the day, allowing clients to focus on treatment, develop healthier routines, and practice skills that support stability during and after their stay.

Counseling, Skill-Building, and Recovery Education

Treatment includes comprehensive substance use assessment, individual counseling, group counseling, and family counseling. Therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention counseling, substance use disorder education, and 12-step facilitation. Life skills and social skills development are also part of care, supporting practical areas like communication, daily structure, and coping strategies that are important for returning to community life.

Broad Access for Adults With Complex Needs

The program serves adults from a wide range of backgrounds, including young adults, men, women (including pregnant and postpartum women), older adults, veterans, active duty military members, and military families. The Haven also works with individuals involved in the criminal justice system and those living with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders or a history of trauma. Sign language services are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Discharge Planning, Aftercare, and Program Limits

Discharge planning and aftercare coordination are built into treatment, with support that may include peer mentoring, self-help groups, housing services, case management, and help accessing community-based resources. Follow-up after discharge and overdose education are also part of care. It is important to note that The Haven does not treat opioid use disorders and does not provide medications for alcohol use disorder, making it best suited for individuals seeking non-opioid-focused residential treatment.
