Clients fully engage with the 12-Step program alongside trauma-informed clinical therapy. This combination promotes accountability, personal growth, and long-term success in recovery.

What to Expect in Treatment

The daily schedule for residential clients reduces free time to help people avoid temptation, boredom, and triggers. We help people build healthy patterns of behavior and routines they can use to maintain lasting sobriety.

Mornings: Structure & Reflection

Before breakfast, residential clients engage in mindfulness meditation and self-reflection. Part of our program structure also involves setting daily goals. People use their mornings to create goals and realistic expectations for their day.

Afternoons: Therapy & Skill Building

Before and after lunch, clients attend multiple individual and group therapy sessions to address various aspects of recovery. 12-Step meetings, group therapy, and individual counseling provide a healthy routine and accountability.

Evenings: Connection & Peer Support

After dinner, clients have time to connect with peers and empower one another through support meetings, community events, and group leisure activities. Our thriving sober community provides structure, mentorship opportunities, and ongoing support through every stage of rehab.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), enacted in 1993, requires employers to provide eligible employees with 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for family emergencies or personal health issues, including addiction recovery and mental health treatment.
