Care Options

Levels of Care

Substance use and mental health issues can occur simultaneously or as primary conditions. Effective treatment explores how mental health conditions contribute to addiction, and vice-versa. Many rehabs treat substance use disorders and mental health conditions with personalized care plans.
Residential
Residential programs for substance use and mental health with structured care and 24/7 monitoring. Treatment takes place on-site, with behavioral health professionals often providing care in group, individual, and family settings.
Sober Living
Not Offered at This Center
Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.

Terrible facility. Rude staff who are completely lacking in empathy. They admitted me involuntarily, kept me for three days, and then charged me $1,500 for it. Food sucks, the mental health "exercises" are useless, and you just watch TV all day.

This was the worst experience ihave had it took a while to get in then they send you out for testing and you are gone for hours after you have waited hours about five hours just to go to the hospital then you come back and you put in room for another four to six hours and by the time you get assigned to a room it is the next day you have to start a so called therapy which was not one. No therapy through the day or anything we sit in a commons area all-day with nothing to do. Wow what a place

Better doctor's staffed onsite to help with medication management. Staff seem to be well organized. Doctors and staff spend more time with patients. Peaceful setting like a nature retreat. Very expensive. Have to leave before ready due to insurance rules that only cover short periods.Options to finance do not always work due to struggles with credit rating affected by the high costs of loved ones needing this expensive care and expensive medications. Though I did not give the top rating in the individual categories, I gave it the highest recommendation for others to try because it has been by far the best facility we have used. Every facility needs work, but this one has done the best job in trying to get it right.
