Our Treatment Philosophy
- We recognize that one size does NOT fit all and everyone’s pathway to treatment and recovery might be somewhat different. We pride ourselves in the fact that we individualize treatment and tailor it to the needs of the client.
- We value research-driven, evidence-based treatment interventions that integrate the sciences of medicine, therapy, and spirituality.
- We know that addiction is complex- as complex as the people and families it affects.
- We know that addiction is not a moral failing.
- We understand one common thread connects almost everyone we serve: trauma. We know that helping clients address trauma and underlying issues increases their chances of long-term sobriety and success.
- We not only treat substance use disorders, but also help clients and their families address all other related issues they may face.
