ABOUT SUNSPIRE HEALTH ASTORIA POINTE
Sunspire Health operates a national network of addiction treatment centers.

The facility is also among the 24 non-hospital, residential facilities in the state to provide on-site detoxification services.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Clients who require medical detox receive it on-site before beginning residential treatment. To ensure the comfort and safety of the client, the facility provides 24/7 access to recovery support staff during the process.
The residential treatment program at Astoria Pointe features a wide range of evidence-based practices, plus 12-step integration. Through various approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma process groups, and motivational interviewing (MI), clients regularly participate in individual, group, and family therapy.
In addition to traditional approaches, programming also focuses on holistic well-being, and clients participate in guided meditation, yoga sessions, adventure-based therapy, and spiritual support groups.
