Heritage Treatment Foundation provides clients with a holistic (body, mind, and spirit) approach to recovery.  This means that treatment approaches cover all aspects of the human condition.  Our approaches include but are not limited to, psychological therapy, experimental learning, creative arts therapy, native spiritual healing, therapeutic recreation, physical exercise, and meditation. Most importantly, our clinical team is highly varied in training, professional experience, and personality. This wide variety ensures that clients are easily able to find amongst our staff experienced and trained professionals to relate to and work with.

There are two major types of therapeutic work: group and individual therapy. Group therapy sessions occur at least three times per-day and the group type is varied so that all learning styles needs are met.  Regarding individual therapy, each client is assigned a therapist when he or she arrives and it is that therapist’s responsibility to ensure that the client’s needs are met. The assigned therapist, for example, will create an individualized treatment plan, write any necessary letters (e.g., lawyer, court, etc), and provide the client with a final report that outlines his or her progress.  Clients are required to participate in individual therapy, and except their assigned counselor, they can select other therapists (s) to work with. The assigned therapist will also work closely with his or her client in developing an achievable, realistic, and sustainable post-treatment plan.

Post-treatment planning is an essential aspect of our program.  Evaluating one’s internal and external high-risk situations is important as healing and abstinence require commitment and change.  In recovery, a person’s ability to change is enhanced with support from loved ones and the community.

To assist our clients and their loved ones to support each other during recovery, Heritage Treatment Foundation offers a variety of additional treatment options.  Family and couples’ counseling is highly recommended as relationships are a complex dynamic and each person has a role to play in its establishment and development.
