Our Approach
Addiction to alcohol, drugs, or other destructive behaviors damages the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of individuals and families. We believe men, women and adolescents with addiction do not want to continue down that path but lack the skills to effectively cope with life without using or drinking. A part of them wants to use or drink and another part wants to remain sober and drug free. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is one of the few research based and proven types of therapy that is effective in treating not only substance abuse but anxiety, depression and other mood disorders which also often play a role in addictive individuals. We utilize DBT as our core philosophy to empower people with the skills to remain sober and cope with life in order to give them balance and hope.

Alcohol and Drug Servies "Detox"
Detox
Alcohol and Drug Services
Abstaining from drugs and alcohol is the first thing that must occur to begin the recovery process from addiction. However, for many that suffer from addiction to just stop is not only difficult, it is sometimes dangerous. Many that are addicted have experienced unpleasant, painful withdrawal symptoms at some point during the course of their disease and a great deal of time is devoted to avoiding painful withdrawal symptoms at all cost. So it comes as no surprise that the idea of “detoxification” is the last thing many are willing to consider. However, medical options exist and are accessible for those that want to begin the recovery process, remain sober, and return to a healthy lifestyle.
Detox is the process by which withdrawal symptoms are medically managed in a hospital setting. It can be dangerous to suddenly stop using alcohol or some drugs without proper medical support, especially for individuals who have been using for a long period of time. Detox makes the process of withdrawal more comfortable, thereby improving the odds for a successful recovery.
