About Aquila of Delaware – Dover
Aquila of Delaware is a 12 Steps based mental health and substance use disorder treatment clinic with a location in Dover, Delaware. This outpatient clinic has programs for people of all ages, including family programs. They’re accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
Note that their intensive outpatient program provides day and evening options for greater flexibility in scheduling. You’ll find this beneficial if you’re concerned about how addiction treatment can fit into your life.
Aquila is home to a mobile outpatient treatment program for adolescents. With this program, treatment occurs in school or at home. As with in-clinic treatment, sessions happen on a recurring schedule, but now they take place in a familiar environment.
This service also reduces travel, which can be a huge plus when it comes to scheduling. You won’t have to worry about making time to get to the clinic every week.
Aquila’s therapy dog program is another support option for those living with a substance use or co-occurring disorder. Experiencing managed interactions with these therapy dogs can help you address negative feelings and reduce stress overall.
Animal therapy can be a powerful recovery tool in conjunction with your treatment plan. The benefits you get from spending time with these trained and friendly dogs can last a lifetime.
The Refuge is a sober living house operated by Aquila in Bear, Delaware. You may get a referral to this program after completing treatment if you feel you need more support. The Refuge features separate houses for women and men.
This program combines closely monitored treatment with independence. You’ll still work with staff toward treatment goals and have access to their care 24/7. At the same time, you’ll move toward independent living through vocational support and placement in a sober living home, if that’s your next step. Note that women with children are accepted into this program and have their own housing.
