Heritage's Treatment Program

At Heritage, we believe in an all-encompassing, holistic approach to addiction treatment. We work together to design a program that works for you, healing the underlying issues at play and creating a new life of happiness, success, and sobriety. Our services are structured into three distinct programs to meet you where you are in your recovery journey:

  • Medical Detoxification Program: For new residents who require medical and psychosocial support to safely manage withdrawal, this short-term (average 7-day) program provides a safe and comfortable environment. Under the direction of our affiliated physician and the care of our 24/7 staff, the focus is on medical stability, symptom management, and preparing you for the next phase of your recovery.
  • Recovery Assistance and Support Program: This is a short-term (max. 48-hour) transitional program for residents who are medically stable but need a brief period of rest and stabilization before beginning the intensive therapy schedule. It provides a quiet, low-pressure environment to acclimate to the facility and regain your strength.
  • Treatment Program: Our core 30-day (or longer) residential program is designed to heal the mind, body, and spirit. Through a combination of individual and group therapy, you will learn to take personal responsibility for your decisions, recognize your triggers, and develop the healthy coping skills needed for lasting sobriety. Our program uses a variety of recognized therapeutic methods, including:
    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
    • Trauma Therapy
    • Creative Art Therapy
    • Holistic Activities (Yoga, Fitness, Meditation)
    • Positive Psychology
    • SMART Recovery

 

Heritage 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 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.
