The clinic offers the right combination of services to set you up for holistic and lasting healing. Their outpatient therapy focuses on building recovery skills that encourage a sober lifestyle and relapse prevention. They offer opioid replacement therapy which involves both ambulatory withdrawal and maintenance therapy using methadone or Suboxone.
Ambulatory opioid withdrawal lets you detox at the convenience of your home. The meds help normalize your brain chemistry, curb cravings and reduce withdrawal symptoms. You’ll get regular check-ins to make sure everything’s going smoothly. Another FDA approved med that is often prescribed in this facility is Vivitrol.
Their mental health services encompass assessment and medication management. This can benefit folks with substance use and co-occurring mental issues like depression. DUI treatment is available as well to help court involved individuals address substance use issues related to driving under the influence. This aims to reduce the risk of reoffending and promoting safer driving habits.
You can also access primary medical care as well. They may offer HIV counseling and testing.
Their complete services are complemented by intensive case management to ensure holistic recovery. This includes employment support, access to permanent housing and temporary financial assistance. They may provide transportation assistance and childcare services as well.
This intensive case management forms a core part of their specialized services for homeless veterans or those at risk of homelessness.

Veterans and their families are supported in rebuilding their lives through personalized and holistic services.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.
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.
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.
