Clients with an immediate need for detox can be enrolled in the program under the care of trained physicians and nurses.</p> <p>Through a rigorous schedule of evidence-based treatments, including <strong>weekly one-on-one therapy and daily group sessions</strong>, clients address the emotional, mental, and social issues of addiction and recovery. Topics include anger management, stress, aftercare planning, and <strong>relapse prevention</strong>. Evidence-based modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, reality therapy, and brief therapy. </p> <p>Clients also participate in <strong>gender-specific addiction education</strong>.
