“Any path is only a path. Ask yourself one question: Does this path have heart? If it does, the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use.”
Strengthening & Empowerment.
Strengthening of core attributes and an essential paradigm shift are major goals of treatment. We seek to empower individuals by supporting them to discover and stand in their own truth, affirm a dignified place in the world, restore balance and inner peace, approach life gently with compassion, and embrace joy by learning to delight in the good.
Expert best practice guidelines and the American Society of Addiction Medicine’s scientific position that addiction is a brain disease, serve as the foundation of our clinical care.
Our understanding of all addictions as brain diseases, leads us to prioritize brain health in treatment.
Interventions That Work.
Individual, group, and family therapies complement community-based peer support, 12 Step participation, random drug testing, psychoeducation, agonist therapies, sober coaching, and sub-acute detoxification.
Blended psychotherapeutic approaches encourage self-inquiry, personal empowerment, spiritual growth, and meaningful connections.
Graduated levels of care increase or decrease at any point to provide the right amount and type of treatment for each patient at every stage of change. This flexibility promotes stronger recovery and lasting outcomes.
Specialty Care.
Co-occurring dual diagnoses and multiple addictions are addressed which enables patients to overcome tenacious obstacles to recovery.
We also treat trauma with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is offered for treatment resistant depression and other chronic problems.
Auricular Acupuncture is an effective adjunct to psychotherapy and can reduce physical and emotional symptoms of distress and withdrawal.
Many of our patients benefit from Medication Assisted Treatment for addiction, consisting of antagonists/agonists pharmacological tools at various stages of recovery, and various delivery routes, such as:
Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Bunavail, Subutex,
Zubsolv)
Naltrexone (ReVia, Vivitrol)
Naloxone (Narcan, Envzio)
Disulfiram (Antabuse)
Acamprosate (Campral)
When antagonist/agonist therapy is combined with robust psychotherapy and sober fellowship, lives can be saved and transformed.
