TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
ABODE, Inc.’s treatment philosophy centers around the acronym Adult Basic Opportunity Development Environment. The network believes that clients seeking recovery from addiction and behavior problems can be alleviated by regaining these qualities.
In the outpatient program, clients typically receive two hours of group counseling per week, and a minimum of one hour of individual counseling per month. The outpatient program generally lasts six to 12 months. Services offered by ABODE Treatment include individual, group, and family counseling; addiction assessment; cognitive therapy, and dual diagnosis, among many others. Aftercare services are available as well. The ABODE treatment network offers residential and transitional living services at other locations.

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
Loved ones’ appraisals of this outpatient facility, of which there were two, ranged from poor to mediocre. Sheryl indicated to Best-rehabs.com that her family member benefited from treatment, but she also gave the facility a one-star rating for its overall effectiveness. She also gave low two-star ratings for its exercise and leisure provisions and its holistic treatment options, its staff’s leadership, its pricing, its level of family involvement, and its staff’s level of training and experience. Sheryl added: “No family counseling at all!”
Another anonymous family member gave two out of five stars for the overall quality of addiction treatment and one star for the overall quality of mental health treatment. Elsewhere, the reviewer gave largely two- and three-star ratings.
