Treatment Plan Overview

The 4 week Intervention phase is the necessary starting point to recovery from addictions and can mark the start of a process that leads many people to enjoy fulfilled lives free from active addiction.

Residents will on admission, undergo a thorough admission and orientation process. This process is an important part of the treatment regime and will establish a solid foundation for the therapeutic process of treatment.
