Detoxification: Medical detoxification is provided under the direction of Fred Von Stieff, M.D., Board Certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Von Stieff and a team of specialized nurses supervise the safe withdrawal from alcohol and other addictive substances. During this time, patients are assigned an individual case manager as well as participate in an educational and therapeutic treatment process until they are medically stabilized. Patients are then assisted in a recovery plan, and if appropriate, are often discharged to the residential program, or the outpatient programs to complete their treatment.

Inpatient Rehabilitation: This level of care is provided for those who demonstrate medical necessity, which requires the security of supervision 24 hours a day. Patients will stay at the Center for Recovery and attend groups and educational programs during the day. This will extend into the evening as staff assist patients in the process of their day and reinforce the commitment to recovery.

Residential Treatment: This level of care is available for patients no longer needing the medical supervision of an inpatient detox program. Our residential program provides a structured, clean and sober living environment for patients attending our outpatient programs.
