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.

Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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.

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.

Absolutely horrible psychiatric care. They don t listen. It s hard to get an appointment. As a person who has struggled with both mental health and Substance Abuse Disorder, it was discouraging to feel like a lower class citizen when speaking with Dr. Reuben. If a therapist should be anything, they should be a good listener. They don t listen, they don t care, they don t care treat you like a patient.

Minus stars!!! Absolutely horrible! Not only has the therapists Ive been assigned in the past 5 years all left after 1 year - therapist, Jackie robinson even lied about not seeing me and sent me a threatening letter to close my file for not showing up?Appts are phone calls which I was able to disprove her lies by my call loG, Which was absolutely traumatizing!!! what kind of therapist lies about patient? Smh Absolutely horrible and just ridiculous treatment of folks who obviously need mental health assistance in some way and are more traumatized then before you go there. The therapists all leave, lie and cant get in touch when necessary. With the exception ofDr Sheldon being great!

Worst place ever. Therapists leave don't tell the parent but tell the minor child without a plan in place. Also billed for services and the therapist no call no show. This place is fraudulent and unprofessional

Great mental health counseling center. I am very happy with both my psychiatrist and psychologist here. Clean, friendly and professional staff. They accept MA health which is helpful.

Just negligent toward trans patients. They deadnamed me constantly because they just couldn't check the field where preferred names are listed. They had the wrong pronouns in my chart the whole time. Not even my pronouns assigned at birth. Just some they stuck me with. I corrected them on everything 100 times and it never changed. River Valley Counseling: As a mental Healthcare center, this is shameful. You should know full well that respecting pronouns and preferred names lowers suicide rates substantially, but your staff can't be bothered? I had to specifically require a trans therapist at a different center to be taken seriously. Shame on you. It's 2023. Act like it.

They make a lot of mistakes and don't take ownership. They require a lot of their patients and make getting help more difficult, but when it's their turn to actually help they just put you on a hell loop of bureaucracy that will break your mind. Good luck if you need meds or have executive function disorders...

Would not recommend. My med provider is completely unprofessional and not compassionate in the slightest. I had to practically beg for basic care and still wasn t given it. Closed my case due to patient neglect and blatant disregard for my best interests
