The center is a nonprofit and accepts many insurance plans. They’re in network for most of the major insurance providers. Their programs are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. They do offer limited financial assistance to those who qualify.

Their treatment programs include residential drug rehab. While in this program, you’ll receive individual and group therapy with integrated services for co-occurring disorders. There are also onsite education options that can coordinate with your home school.

You’ll participate in recreational and wellness activities. They also do special groups for learning resilience, coping skills and accountability.

The staff uses a targeted approach for opioid use disorder which incorporates the 12 Steps. This includes lectures, group and individual therapy as well as medications if necessary.

An intensive day treatment option offers a high level of outpatient care with 20 to 30 hours a week of activities and appointments. This type of care is a bridge between the inpatient and less intensive outpatient program.

Some former clients expressed frustration with the rules at the facility, but most felt the center was life saving.
