Detox and Residential Treatment

Their detox program gives clients a safe and medically supervised environment in which to manage withdrawal symptoms with 24/7 support.

Following detox, clients transition seamlessly into residential treatment, where they experience a structured, immersive program in comfortable facilities.
Innovative Clinical Offerings and Flexible Policies
New Leaf is committed to providing highly tailored treatment for each individual. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, the clinical team collaborates with clients to develop personalized interventions, regularly tracking progress and adjusting treatment plans to meet each person's unique needs and goals. The center also offers a flexible tech policy, allowing clients controlled access to cell phones after 14 days with clinical approval, helping them stay connected while maintaining focus on recovery. Additionally, New Leaf’s pet-friendly environment allows clients to bring their animal companions, easing a common obstacle to entering treatment.
Holistic Care and Evidence-Based Therapies
New Leaf Detox & Treatment integrates holistic care with psychotherapy to treat addiction and co-occurring disorders. Their programs combine traditional methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management with holistic practices like yoga, meditation, and physical exercise. By using a well-rounded approach, New Leaf addresses the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of addiction, creating a deep mind-body recovery experience.
