Recovery starts somewhere that feels like home.

It can be. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures and delirium tremens, and opioid withdrawal is rarely dangerous on its own but hard enough that most people relapse without support. Medical detox means 24/7 monitoring, medication when it helps, and someone there to step in if symptoms escalate. If you are unsure whether you need it, that is exactly what the first call is for.

It depends on you, and anyone quoting a fixed number before assessing you is selling a package. As a rough guide, detox usually runs 3–7 days and can stretch longer for alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids. Most people then stay 30–45 days in residential care, longer for more complex or dual-diagnosis needs. Aftercare continues for months after that. Your team reviews the plan as you go.

A mix of individual therapy, group counseling, skill-building, and holistic practices like mindfulness and guided relaxation — with structured downtime for rest and reflection. It is busy enough to keep you moving forward and calm enough to actually think.

It usually is not. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders very often sit underneath a substance problem, and treating one without the other is why people come back. Our dual diagnosis approach assesses both at intake and treats them together, with psychiatric providers managing medication when it is appropriate.

We work with most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and many more. We check your benefits for you, usually quickly, and explain exactly what your plan covers before you commit to anything. The check is free and confidential. We do not accept Medicaid.

Often, yes. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave a year for treatment of a serious health condition, and substance use treatment from a provider like us qualifies. Your employer has to keep your group health insurance active on the same terms while you are out, and has to give you back your job or an equivalent one when you return. Your employer cannot retaliate against you for using it. Leave can also be taken in pieces for aftercare appointments, and you can use it to care for a spouse, parent, or child in treatment. Eligibility generally means your employer has 50 or more employees and you have worked there at least 12 months and 1,250 hours in the past year. We help with the medical certification, and share only what the paperwork requires, with your written consent. Some employers also offer short-term disability that may replace part of your pay — worth asking HR.

Yes, and it often helps. We offer family therapy, education on addiction and mental health, and guidance on communication, so the people at home are ready for the person who comes back.

Yes. Everything you share is protected under HIPAA and under the federal 42 CFR Part 2 rules for substance-use records — a stricter standard than ordinary medical privacy. Nothing reaches an employer without your written authorization.

Relapse after treatment usually traces to a few things: the mental health side never got treated, the step down out of care was a cliff, or there was nobody to call when things started slipping. Dual diagnosis care and an aftercare plan that starts early exist to fix exactly those. Tell us what happened last time and we will be straight with you about whether we can do better.

Someone listens. If you want to go further, a few questions about what you are using, your health, and your timing, and a benefits check if you have your insurance card to hand. Calling commits you to nothing.
