Treatment Philosophy

     We believe that people who are post detoxification, and/or, have a life treating relationship with substances need a period of time totally substance free.

     That it is through the experiences of living ones life without the support of mood altering chemicals, facing and dealing with he issues that arise from rebuilding a life, that a person will discover their own weakness and strengths.

     From this position they are then able to make informed choices about whether they will pursue a life of abstinence.

     We are eclectic in our approach, and do not work with one specific model of therapy.

     We operate using a variety of intervention strategies e.g. Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy, Modified 12 Step, Counseling Skills, Relapse Prevention, and Health Awareness.

     We incorporate each individual's choices into his/her treatment plan. This plan is constantly monitored and modified to achieve the most positive intervention possible.
