St. Christopher's Addiction Wellness Center (STC) is an addiction treatment center that is dedicated to implementing effective and affordable addiction wellness programs for men, women, and their families. STC meets the client where they are at by offering a wide range of programs including medical detox, residential care, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), sober living, a family program, and aftercare monitoring. STC also offers a Hero's Program (Higher Education Relaunch or Entry Support). This program blends sober living and education for those who are still in school. The residential program is typically 30 days in length, but an extended recovery home is offered for those needing longer treatment. The long-term 90 day program helps clients gain employment, attend school, and/or participate in volunteer work while simultaneously progressing through the program’s therapeutic structure and continuing the treatment foundations begun in earlier stages.

St. Christopher’s state-of-the-art Wellness Center opened in July 2016. The Wellness Program implements exercise programs and routines for clients based on their goals, personal needs, and physical capabilities. STC believes that exercise and physical activity may be the first part of the recovery process that delivers tangible results. In addition, STC also has a Biosound therapy chair which will assist the clients during detox and moments of anxiety and restlessness. St. Christopher's Addiction Wellness Center is a great choice for those seeking 12-Step care along with a strong fitness element.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Everyone's recovery journey is unique. Whether it looks like residential rehab for 30 days, an outpatient program, or virtual therapy, you can find a level of care that fits your needs.
Residential Rehab
Offering intensive care with 24/7 monitoring, residential substance use treatment is typically 30 days. Length can range from 14 to 90 days.
Sober Living
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.
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
Not Offered at This Center
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.
Co-Occurring Mental Health
Treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, which affect the majority of individuals diagnosed, integrates care for mental health conditions with primary substance use. Personalized care plans are crafted to effectively address each condition simultaneously, optimizing the healing process.

Review from Rehabs.com

Terrible. Sent my son to STC for treatment. He was sexually assaulted and bullied by other patients. Staff is incompetent. He was misdiagnosed and over medicated for things he does not have. One of the worst decisions, I’ve ever made. Stay far, far away from these people.

Review from Rehabs.com

This rehab has absolutely great counselors. My son was in their program and for a month and he made great progress. The only thing with this rehab is that if you run out of money or insurance you are out of the program. I do understand how this works rehabs need to make money also to stay open but after insurance ran out he was out....I brought my son home and unfortunately he messed up. We decided to call St Christopher's for help and basically there was none. I was told that I needed to come up with more money which I did not have...We (now) have him in a outpatient rehab which is working great for him...Not once has St Christophers ever corresponded with us to see how he was doing...we are an upper middle class family and I cant imagine how people feel when they have no money. Shame on most of the rehabs out there.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
