Skilled, Caring Experts
Our treatment team includes therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, medical social workers and other professionals with experience in treating alcohol and substance abuse. We have a certified MD addictionologist on staff — a psychiatrist specializing in addiction treatment and medicine.
The Behavioral Health Services staff will help you (or someone you care about) develop an understanding of the substance abuse problem and help you discover ways to succeed with a variety of treatment techniques. We offer specially designed programs for adolescents, adults and seniors — all with a compassionate, holistic approach to treat the “whole” person.
Treatment Approach
Substance abuse treatment begins with an assessment of personal needs and developing a successful plan of care. This plan may include individual, group and family therapy depending on specific concerns. A variety of treatment approaches may be used which include physical, emotional, and spiritual components — such as the AA 12-step format. The length of care may range from a few days to several weeks of outpatient treatment based on individual needs.
