Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

They advocate for themselves, not the patient. I feel for the interns that are there with good intention, and I hope the one I was seeing had the good sense to move on to a better facility.

The absolute worst I suffer from depression and self esteem issues and I've tried their therapists services on 2 occasions first time was in 2016 and all the therapists try to do was provide depression meds, nothing else the second was recently and the therapist literally didn't do anything and just say there and listen and when u run out of things to talk he ends the session or ask you what to ask you. And he had a disinterested look in his face. Thankfully I read some articles and bought book which is 100x more helpful. Thank God I wasn't completely suicidal cuz I would have killed myself after. My advice get books or save money and go to real therapist

I ve been a patient here for a little over a year. One of the worst therapy clinics I ve visited. I ve been canceled, reassigned new therapists without my knowledge , my previous psychiatrist sent me a different clients ESA documentation. I m trying the process to get a new therapist as mine doesn t suit me for my needs: and what a coincidence they re the clinical supervisor. It s been radio silence, and apparently in order to get a new therapist I need to speak to my old one ? Aren t you NOT supposed to do that to make a more comfortable transition for the patient? Whatever shadiness is going on, I m being ignored and my phone-calls to the supervisor keep getting sent to voice mail. It s been 3 weeks- and my old therapist is not responding to anything they re supposed to do in order to start that process. At this point, are you even a real therapy clinic or are you just here to suck the $$$ out of those who can t afford commercialized therapy ?

I asked for a link for my appointment with ALFRID RICARDO but they sent me one that wasn't and when I pI called to request another one, they sent me to tell me that if that link didn't work that I should call another day to make another appointment. That's what Jordan Lymon told me, he didn't want to make another one and I lost the appointment that was for Julia Acevedo.

I would not recommend this place at all. They call themselves advocates but do not advocate for anyone. It is almost impossible to get in contact with your therapist or to even schedule an appointment with the front desk. When it comes to medication they try and force high doses of medication that you really don t even need and when you express that you feel you re being over medicated and would like to come off certain meds or wanting to lower a dose the doctor make it hell for you and refuse. They are always moving you around to new therapists or psychiatrists. I ve had multiple appointments where neither of my doctors showed up but it was considered a no show on my end. Too many no shows ( which 95% of them won t even be you) lead to them refusing care and kicking you out. The front desk NEVER answers the phone and the only person that is willing to help with anything is the medical assistant. She has helped me more then the doctors have. Being on a waitlist would be less stressful then dealing with this place. If anything my mental health has gotten worse being under the care of the doctors there. Do not go here and waste your time like I have. This is the worst mental health organization I ve ever seen. If I could give them a zero I would.
