Intensive Outpatient Treatment
Our CARF-accredited Intensive Outpatient Program offers structured addiction treatment with flexible scheduling options.

This evidence-based approach supports long-term recovery while allowing clients to maintain daily responsibilities.

Specialized counseling addresses mood disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction treatment. Our licensed therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder within a comprehensive recovery framework.

Tailored recovery groups address unique challenges faced by different genders in addiction treatment. Evening sessions for women focus on trauma recovery, family dynamics, and building sober support networks through specialized therapeutic approaches.
