Addiction Programs

Treatment Approach

Patients with addiction or substance abuse problems are treated with respect, have their confidentiality maintained, and are provided a safe place to begin their recovery. We use an abstinence based model, which presumes total abstinence is the best approach to assure long term health and recovery. Addiction Clinicians complete an in-depth assessment that allows for a personalized and comprehensive treatment approach. They also work with patients to develop flexible treatment plans, integrating both professional care and self-help approaches. We recognize individuals vary widely in terms of motivation for treatment and life circumstances. An Addiction Clinician/Case Manager meets regularly with each patient, monitors progress, coordinates care, and assists in planning for discharge and aftercare needs.
