Addiction Treatment

A life-long disease

Addictions can take many forms. Substance use and behavioral addictions are the two main groups of addiction, but anything that significantly impacts your health, relationships, or overall quality of life is an addiction. It’s not about a lack of willpower or making bad decisions; it changes the way your brain works.

Individual Therapy

Individual substance use counseling provides one-on-one support tailored to each client’s unique needs, circumstances, and recovery goals. Treatment may address substance use, underlying concerns, coping skills, relationships, relapse prevention, and other factors that may impact recovery. Individual therapy allows clients to work collaboratively with their therapist to develop personalized strategies for making and sustaining positive changes.

Outpatient Substance Use Services

Our outpatient substance use services provide individualized support for adolescents and adults at different stages of recovery. Services include Intensive Outpatient Treatment, aftercare support, individual therapy, and specialized programming for adolescents. Treatment is tailored to each person’s needs, circumstances, and recovery goals.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT)

Our Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT) program provides structured support for individuals who need a higher level of substance use treatment while continuing to live and work in the community. Treatment utilizes the Matrix Model® and may include group and individual therapy, skill-building, recovery support, and relapse prevention. Participants develop healthy coping strategies, strengthen recovery supports, and build skills to support long-term recovery while applying what they learn in their everyday lives.

Aftercare Group

Our Aftercare Group provides ongoing support for individuals who have completed a more intensive level of substance use treatment and are transitioning toward greater independence in their recovery. The group focuses on maintaining progress, strengthening recovery skills, addressing challenges that may arise during the recovery process, and reducing the risk of relapse. Aftercare provides continued connection and support as individuals work toward sustaining long-term recovery.

STAR Program — Standing Together to Achieve Recovery

The STAR Program (Standing Together to Achieve Recovery) is a 12-week adolescent substance use treatment program for youth ages 12 to 17½ experiencing mild to moderate substance use concerns. The program helps teens build skills for recovery, develop healthy coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and better understand the impact of substance use.
STAR meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00–7:30 PM and uses The Matrix for Teens® curriculum along with group discussion, interactive activities, and experiential learning. Tuesday sessions focus on adolescent group therapy, while Thursday sessions include parents, caregivers, or other supportive adults to promote family involvement, communication, and support throughout the recovery process.
Enrollment is available on a rolling basis, allowing youth to begin treatment without waiting for a new group cycle.
