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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

I have been involved with focus for going on 2 years now. I have had nothing but a positive experience from the beginning. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. We started out with the nurse practitioner Sonya and she was amazing. Understandably, she felt my child had far more issues than she could help with (I adopted a child with MANY mental issues so I understood completely). She referred us to Dr. Igbul who was also amazing. At the time for one of her appointments, he was out of town and we got scheduled with Dr. Fairchild. She is absolutely nothing short of amazing. She has helped so much and has answered questions I have had for years that nobody has been able to answer in 10 years. I will stick with Dr. Fairchild forever. I see a lot of negative reviews but like I said, in the 2 years I have been affiliated with them, they have been amazing!

Half stars. I like my in-home team but the receptionist for the upstairs therapy is so insanely rude. (The lady with the medium length brown hair) She called me at 8:30 this morning and woke me to ask me to come early (10:30) because I wasn't allowed in the office at lunch time and my session was set for 11:30 and would take about an hour. I explained to her I didn't think I could do 10:30 because my kids were sleeping and I was unsure I could get out on time. I told her that I could see myself making it by 11 easily but would still try to be there at 10:30. I did happen to get there at 10:30 and she immediately was using passive aggressive language and tones to interact. We ended up waiting quite some time despite meeting her request and did end up spilling into lunch. The therepist was great. The receptionist opening and closing the door to stare at me everytime my kids made a noise that annoyed them was unprofessional and inappropriate. Her opening the door to stare at me when the time went over while I was with the therepist was inappropriate- remember I came early at her request to avoid this. And can we please talk about what she may or may not have heard that was not her business? Just because she's a receptionist I wasn't aware she was privy to my privet sessions. She had no right to ever open that door without so much as a knock and stare at me. We were going over extremely emotional details of my daughters and mines trauma history and the fact that she felt so entitled to enter unannounced baffles me. On my way out I was uncomfortable from her behavior and my youngest was finally losing her patience, about the last ten or 15 mins she started crying off and on. So I rushed to the front desk to make my follow up appointment and get everyone home. What does she do? She gets snide with me about how "checkouts over here but ok." After she gave me my appointment she took the time to chastise me over getting a babysitter for my next appointment. First of all she doesn't know what my socio economic status is. It's not is it her business. Second of all she doesn't know if I have any support system or how extensive it is nor is it her business. I had already explained previously that my husband has 6 days left to take off this year and we are expecting a baby in November when I made my appointment with the other receptionist. Additionally this same receptionist being rude about a baby sitter is the same one who told me that our next session would be virtual when I first got there- she literally was just being passive aggressive complaining about my kids. My kids cleaned their messes and my 2 year old got loud a few times but it was hardly terrible behavior especially given how for all her bargeing in she offered no coloring. No toys. No anything. They entertained themselves quietly the vast majority of the time we were there. I'm the first to hold my children accountable for bad behavior and quick to apologize but frankly they were fairly good this time. Honestly she was so rude that I felt completely exasperated. Nobody in the months I have been attending here has anyone had so little tact, nuance, compassion, decorum, or lack of professional manners- and I'm literally doing parenting sessions. You think I like everything they tell me? No, but it's the way you say it and treat people. I saw another in these reviews mention the rude receptionist.-yes absolutely. She is rude. It wasn't just a sensitive person with a bad outcome. She has got a problem interacting respectfully. Idk who's cousin she is to keep her job.

Only giving one star because negative stars isnt a option. Had my son there for 8 months in those 8 months he would have been going on his 4th therapist because they were all quitting. Preached to me about routine and consistency yet they practiced neither. And the receptionist very rude amd not professional. Told them I would not be bring my child there anymore few days later got a letter saying they wouldnt see him anymore due to missing appointments like I told you HE WASNT COMING BACK. Defiantly not a place to help the little ones!
