Addiction Treatments

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.

Treatments

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.

Programs

Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive way of stimulating the brain in order to help with symptoms of depression. TMS uses elecromagnetic coils to deliver magnetic pulses to the brain, which can improve a patient's mood and ease depression. It's often used when other depression treatments haven't worked.

Was under the care of two separate providers for 1.5 years before i finally had enough.The receptionists were always rude at check in and check out, especially Lexi. For someone who works at a mental health clinic, she has a (not) fun and very blatant way of making sure you feel embarrassed when you let her know your appointment time and provider. And then if you re lucky she *tries* to manage a decent customer service attitude but still seems so inconvenienced that she has to book another appointment with your provider and then write it on a card as a reminder. She only would change her demeanor to mediocre customer when my provider came out to tell her when i needed to come back. Funny how she s gonna change as soon as someone who could get her in trouble comes out. Office manager should ve been addressing this as of years ago.Office manager can t take criticism without being personally offended either. I called several times about getting a full printed version of my records while i was under Erin Hodgsons care. I had called and my favorite receptionist, Lexi, answered and i asked to have my medical records sent to my new psychiatrist at a different clinic. She had me sign a release form where i said ALL of my records to be sent over. She sent over my last appointment notes, with no past medications, diagnosis, treatment plans, or any other appointments notes from the past year of my care under Erin.Upon me calling again and talking to Lexi and saying none of my records were sent over and asking to speak with the office manager because i didn t trust that she would send my records over, i was put through to the office manager s voicemail and a hope I d be called back. She eventually did and i brought up that my new provider never received any of my records and that s pretty important in anyones treatment but especially since i ve been one the same meds that haven t been helping me for months and being refused adhd treatment because of a substance issue. She immediately became offended that i would say it s dangerous of them to not provide my new healthcare provider with important information regarding my care, as i m on antipsychotics and multiple anti depressants with a history of suicidal tendencies, as well as sensitivity to a fair number of meds that we had tried (unsuccessfully). I mentioned I had also not been acknowledged about my consistent comments about my suspected autism which had now been diagnosed. Her demeanor quickly changed and she would refuse to admit they made a mistake and was speaking me as if i couldn t understand what she was trying to communicate. Now that could ve been a complete coincidence but it doesn t appear to be just a coincidence because it seemed to have a common theme of no respect for mentally ill or disabled people within the clinic.I told her i wanted a printed copy of every appointments notes and my medication records and symptoms recorded from trying those meds. She said she would have to get approval from Dr Dean as my previous provider Erin wasn t in the office. I said okay then call me when they re ready.A week goes by and I call and asked on the status of the approvals and printed records because I need to pick them up now and it s no longer a process of getting them to my new provider and I need them printed now. I get told by Lexi that erin still isn t in office but should be back in a few days. I call back after a few days and ask if they can finally print them, they say yes and they will call me when they are ready.That was in march. It s June 20th I ve received no contact from them about my records but they sent me a happy birthday email. Great job.This is a completely unprofessional office and they will not respect you if you come in as neurodivergent. Or even mentally ill. Just don t go here if you want actual help from intelligent and respectful providers.

Dr. Chau is very VERY knowledgeable. I will follow him to the ends of the earth because he is a rare find in a mental health professional.

Dr. Chu worst doctor to live. Doesn't even care about your mental health. I have BPD and have had my diagnosis. I went to see him as my new Dr. Since I moved he said I just had bipolar changed my meds so many times said he was experimenting. Never started my therapy or anything. He literally doesn't care about his patients.
