TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

According to the website, clients at this facility undergo a multidisciplinary assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care, which may include outpatient treatment. Requirements for the intensive outpatient program (IOP) include attending multiple sessions each week, as long as clients are medically stable and capable of maintaining sobriety without supervision.

Bradford Health Services utilizes a 12-step approach together with evidence-based methods in its abstinence-based program. Treatment programs for both adults and adolescents focus on relapse prevention education, group therapy sessions, and may incorporate adventure-based programs and educational training. Group discussions are tailored to address age-specific issues, such as parenting for adults and the neurobiological consequences of addiction during teenage years for adolescents.

Family involvement is highly encouraged, with family members urged to attend Al-Anon meetings to familiarize themselves with the disease of addiction.
