To be sure, inpatient treatment is one of a number of offerings we make available to clients. Our recovery center offers a full continuum of substance abuse care that aims to meet a diversity of treatment needs and life circumstances. Outpatient programs, for example, can serve a supportive role in grounding clients in a longer-term lifestyle of sobriety. Similarly, sober living houses offer a less-structured environment of accountability and support for clients moving out of our residential program and back into the real world.

Typically, however, such interventions are auxiliary to the residential rehab experience. They function more as a side dish in relation to the main entree (residential inpatient treatment), which we believe best serves our clients’ long-term interests — in the form of life-long freedom from addiction. We thus recommend clients follow drug detox at our center with an intensive daily regimen of group and individual therapeutic programming, during which time living in residence within a supportive and protective community is the ideal.
