Treatment at a reputable rehab center gives you the tools to address a complex addiction. These can include medicines, counseling, and support.

Here are some of the medications we may use:

• Suboxone treats opioid cravings and side effects.
• Vivitrol reduces cravings which can prevent relapse.
• Buprenorphine treats opioid dependence and is a newer alternative to methadone.
• Naltrexone also reduces cravings and reverses the effects of an overdose. 
• Clonidine relieves the physical symptoms of withdrawal, like anxiety.

Our highly trained medical professionals specializing in opioid drug addiction and mental health know how to design individualized treatment plans that work.

After detox, our treatment center team will recommend a program that best fits your needs. Among our network of drug rehab centers, we offer substance abuse programs at every level. 

Residential programs, or inpatient care, is for those seriously struggling with opioid addiction. We provide a strong, supportive, and structured environment to help people achieve long-lasting sobriety. We can help you locate an inpatient facility out of state to make this transition from detox. 

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) bridges the gap between drug rehab and the real world to stay sober long-term. Our program provides support and opportunity for personal growth without drugs or drinking. It offers weekly therapy sessions, job placement, volunteering, and support groups. 

We emphasize communication, socialization, structure, and discipline to combat risk factors for relapse to strike a balance between daily life and sobriety.

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an outpatient level of care that meets daily on weekdays providing an around-the-clock structure. PHPs fit the need of those who require more guidance than standard outpatient treatment but do not need 24-hour supervision.

We make our program feel like the real world, so clients can learn how to adjust to their lives. This intense program requires clients to attend group therapy sessions every day. You must have completed medical detox to ensure you’re ready to benefit from therapy.

Our sober homes create an accepting environment free of drugs and alcohol for individuals in recovery. Our addiction recovery housing provides 24-hour support, access to valuable mental health and life resources, including job training and education, and a nurturing community in recovery. 

Combining sober living with a residential care program, PHP, or IOP builds a foundation for long-term recovery while providing accountability in a healthy environment.
