According to its website, the center treats addictions to most substances, including alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs. Additionally, it is one of the only 65 (5 percent) substance abuse treatment centers in the state with an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP).

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the center’s website, all clients first undergo a comprehensive assessment, which includes a physical exam and drug screening. Following this assessment, clients are given an estimate for how long they can expect to remain in treatment. Length of stay varies, but most individuals remain on-site between three and 14 days.
During their stay, clients are prescribed medications to help ease the symptoms of withdrawal. Individual and group counseling are used alongside medication management, and a case manager is assigned to each client to provide individualized guidance and support for involved family members. Once their detox is complete, clients often move on to another residential or outpatient treatment facility.
