Among several approaches utilized are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), <strong>dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)</strong>, and motivational interviewing. Patients may also receive <strong>medication management</strong> and are encouraged to participate in a <strong><a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/how-a-non-religious-journalist-makes-a-case-for-aa-in-2017/" target="_blank">12-step</a> recovery groups</strong> once they are released.</p> <p>Programming is delivered primarily via <strong>group counseling,</strong> as well as educational sessions focused on <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/sad-lets-talk-about-seasonal-affective-disorder-and-relapse/" target="_blank">relapse prevention</a> and understanding the disease model of addiction.

While they praised the treatment team and awarded the hospital four out of five stars for its counseling options and its staff's level of training and experience, they gave the facility lower ratings of two or three stars for its cleanliness, its exercise and leisure offerings, its administrative and discharge procedures, and its treatment of co-occurring disorders.
