Evaluation

A thorough evaluation of the patient’s physical, emotional, behavioral, and environmental health gives staff the information necessary to recommend next steps. An attending psychiatrist is available for evaluation and medication management when indicated.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Adult primary outpatient groups: Patients get in-depth education about addiction and recovery to better understand the degree to which substance use disorder has impacted them. They also learn how to overcome self-defeating attitudes and solve problems in healthier and more constructive ways. We offer morning and evening options. Adult intensive outpatient groups: This highly structured program provides a safe environment for patients to stabilize in early recovery. They examine the self-defeating behaviors and attitudes that challenge recovery and learn healthier ways of coping and solving problems. We offer morning and evening options three days a week as a well as a four-day option with a trauma-focused component. Healthcare Intensive Outpatient Group (IOP): This structured program provides an environment for patients who are licensed healthcare professionals to stabilize and establish a foundation of sobriety. This program offers group and individual counseling that focuses on navigating personal and professional considerations, such as the return to practice, involvement in professional monitoring when applicable, stress management, the development of adaptive coping behaviors, and managing a healthy work-life balance that supports a meaningful life in recovery. This program is offered in either the morning or evening. Adult recovery maintenance group: Adult patients learn coping skills, good self-care, and how to deal with emotions and solve problems in everyday life as a way to maintain long-term sobriety. Gambling services for adults: A clinician with specialized training in gambling helps patients interrupt patterns of addictive behavior and develop abstinence skills. Teen Outpatient Group: This group focuses on substance use and includes teen-specific issues such as peer pressure, dealing with cravings, developing healthy coping tools, communication, finding sober activities, and developing a sober identity. It also provides a safe and therapeutic environment for teens with co-occurring mental health symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, to explore behaviors and attitudes that support positive mental health and recovery. A peer environment opens opportunities for teens to discuss challenges specific to their age group and recognize they are not alone in their experience. Individual therapy: Individual therapy offers additional support for treating substance use disorder, trauma, or both. Psychiatric services: Our medical director provides evaluations and follow-up as indicated.

Mental Health Outpatient

Individual therapy: As clinically indicated, patients will have individual sessions with a therapist in addition to group therapy or as their primary treatment for the treatment of diagnoses including those in the categories of depression, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar. Psychiatric services: The attending psychiatrist is involved in treatment planning for all of the mental health clients and evaluates and monitors patients taking medication.

Trauma Treatment

Individual and group services: Our trauma-focused treatment includes group therapy, a research-based approach that gives participants a sense of commonality, which we know is a central healing component. Group members combat shame and find value and acceptance along with new insight, skills, and behaviors while building trust. Individual clinical sessions that incorporate an evidence-based trauma intervention, such as cognitive processing therapy or EMDR, are available to patients in the group.

Additional Support

Alumni support groups for substance use disorder: These free weekly aftercare groups offer ongoing recovery support for anyone who has completed a treatment program at the Center. Healthcare professionals support group: Recovering healthcare providers who are enrolled in state monitoring programs benefit from long-term support and an understanding environment. Recovery Services: Individualized, clinically driven services for patients and their families, including My Recovery Connection, provide support for transition to their lives in recovery.
