A short call can help you decide what's right — even if it isn't us.

The First Conversation

What happens when you call?

You'll talk to someone who understands—not a salesperson reading a script.

1

We've been where you are

Whether you're calling for yourself or for someone you love—most of our team has made this call themselves. We know how hard it is. We know what you actually need to hear.

2

We help you figure out what's needed

Not everyone needs detox. Not everyone needs 30 days. We'll ask about the situation and help you understand what level of care makes sense—no matter who it's for.

3

We'll help you find the best fit — even if it's not us

If you need something we don't offer—or somewhere closer to home—we'll help you find it. Our job is to get you help, not fill beds.

4

You decide what happens next

After we walk through everything, you decide. No pressure, no countdown timer. Whether you're ready today or need a week to think—we'll be here.

Not a sales call. A conversation.

You are not committing to treatment by calling.

Not sure what to say when you call?

Here's a script that works. You can literally read it:

Theresa Osmond

Theresa Osmond

Director of Admissions

"I wrote this because I know how hard it is to make this call. You don't need to have it all figured out — that's what we're here for."

"Hi, I'm looking into treatment options for myself or someone I care about. I don't really know how this works, but I wanted to understand what you offer and see if it might be a fit."

That's it. We take it from there.

Not sure it's bad enough?

Most people who call us feel the same way. If you're asking the question, it's worth a conversation.

Worried about detox?

If detox is needed, it's medically supervised with comfort meds. Many people sleep through the hardest part.

Concerned about cost?

Insurance verification takes 10 minutes. We'll explain your coverage before anything happens.

Need it to stay private?

HIPAA-protected, always. Your employer, school, or anyone else is never notified.

Your Treatment

How Treatment Works

Every plan is different because every person is different. Here's what treatment actually looks like.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Your treatment is built around your history, your goals, and what hasn't worked before. No cookie-cutter programs.

Individual & Group Therapy

Regular one-on-one sessions with your therapist, plus peer groups where you learn from people who truly understand.

Whole-Person Care

We address what's underneath — anxiety, trauma, depression, relationships — not just the substance use.

Daily Structure & Purpose

A consistent schedule that rebuilds discipline, healthy habits, and a sense of purpose. Structure you can rely on.

Family Involvement

Weekly family sessions to rebuild trust and create a support system that lasts well beyond treatment.

Transition Planning

Before you leave, we build your plan: sober living options, outpatient referrals, alumni network, and ongoing support.

Individualized Treatment Plans Available

What Your Days Look Like in Treatment

Treatment happens in phases. Here's what to expect at each stage.

Week 1: Detox

Focus: Rest & Stabilization

Your only job is to heal. We handle everything else.

  • 24/7 nursing monitoring & vitals
  • Medication management for comfort
  • Chef-prepared meals brought to you
  • Rest when you need it—no schedule pressure
  • Daily check-ins with medical team

"The first few days, I mostly slept. They made sure I was comfortable and safe. That's all I could handle—and that was okay."

Week 2+: Residential

Focus: Clinical Programming

6+ hours of daily therapy. Group sessions, individual work, and structured support.

  • Morning process groups & therapy
  • Individual therapy 2x/week
  • Wellness time, evening activities
Weekly family therapy session
Weekly community outings

Real Stories From People Who Were Where You Are

Not everyone walks in ready. Most people had doubts. Here's what changed.

Verified Patient

"I came in thinking 30 days was going to feel like prison. The first week was hard — I won't lie about that. But by week two, the individual therapy sessions started clicking. I understood why I kept going back to drinking. It wasn't willpower. It was everything I'd been avoiding. The team here didn't rush me. They let me work through it at my own pace."

Does Any of This Feel Familiar?

You don't need to check every box. If even one or two resonate, it might be worth a conversation.

I've tried cutting back on my own, but it hasn't stuck

I've missed work, events, or responsibilities because of substance use

People close to me have expressed concern

I've thought about getting help before but talked myself out of it

I need more to feel the same effect I used to

I find myself using alone or hiding how much I use

If any of these feel familiar, talking to someone could help — no commitment, no pressure.
