Therapy and Step-Down Options to Help Patients Manage and Recover from Addiction

Substance Abuse

Our providers are specially trained to work with people who struggle with substance abuse. We offer a range of therapy and step-down options to help you manage and recover from your addiction, and we work closely with you to ensure you get the safe, effective treatment you need.

Treatments

Medication Management:
If medication is recommended to help control substance abuse cravings and prevent relapse, our psychiatrists will work closely with you to ensure proper use and closely monitor for any side effects.

Individual, Group, Couples, and Family Therapy:
Individual, couple, and group therapy is available, depending on your specific needs. In all cases, our specialists work with you to help you manage and control your addiction and substance abuse disorder. We use motivation approaches that include a range of cognitive behavioral therapies.

Testing

Comprehensive Evaluation
We gather information on your medical history, psychological history, goals, and values, then work closely with you to create a treatment plan that has clear targets for change. We help you understand how your substance abuse developed and how we can work together to effect change.
