Recovery Division

We believe that a seamless continuum of care is the key to fostering long-term recovery. To achieve this goal, we provide comprehensive care to adults and adolescents at every stage of the healing process, from detoxification, inpatient rehab treatment, and partial hospitalization or day treatment to intensive outpatient and extended care programs.

At CRC, we understand that recovery is an ongoing process. In order to meet patients wherever they are in the life cycle of their disorder, we offer programs at various levels of care. Often, treatment for a chemical dependency problem begins with a short-term, high-intensity intervention such as 24-hour inpatient rehab, and then continues with progressively less intensive interventions such as outpatient treatment a few hours a day or day treatment/partial hospitalization 5-6 full days a week. This gradual step-down process helps patients transition in slow, manageable steps toward assuming responsibility for their own sobriety. Whether patients require high-intensity, full-time treatment or lower intensity, part-time treatment, or fall somewhere in between, CRC Health has a program to meet their needs.

Inpatient Rehab Treatment

CRC's residential treatment facilities provide both short- and long-term intensive inpatient treatment and counseling services to individuals who abuse alcohol, illicit or prescription drugs, or other substances. Dual diagnosis treatment and medication management services are available for patients struggling with co-occurring disorders, unresolved emotional trauma, or compulsive behaviors. For patients who prefer to receive treatment in a female- or male-only setting, CRC also offers a variety of gender-specific treatment programs.

Once a patient chooses a residential program, highly qualified professionals who specialize in addiction will assess and evaluate the medical, psychological, and emotional needs of each patient and design an individualized treatment plan geared toward their unique needs. Whether a patient needs a detoxification program, counseling, educational seminars, or group therapy, CRC has a program that blends traditional and innovative therapies to help patients confront the issues underlying their disorders. Using the 12-step model and cognitive-behavioral therapies, patients will develop coping skills and tools to improve their self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and vocational productivity.

CRC's residential treatment centers touch on every aspect of a patient's life. In addition to receiving top-notch treatment for their disorders, many of our facilities offer life skills training, trauma resolution groups, art therapy, spirituality groups, yoga, meditation, and more. Patients can also take part in dozens of sober recreational activities that feed the mind, body, and spirit. Every step of the way, we strive to make the recovery experience as smooth and pleasant as possible.

In a peaceful, retreat-like setting that is removed from the pressures, demands, and temptations of everyday life, our residential patients can focus on what matters most - getting and staying well. With breathtaking views of some of the nation's most picturesque landscapes, our residential treatment centers provide support 24 hours a day in a nurturing, structured environment.

Recognizing that recovery takes time, dedication, and patience, many of our residential treatment centers offer extended care. These programs allow clients to develop independent living skills and practice the strategies they learned in treatment while living in a safe and supportive residential environment. With the guidance of a multidisciplinary therapy team and a support network of recovering peers, patients learn practical skills such as budgeting, personal safety, meal planning, and time management. As patients grow stronger, they begin to seek employment or pursue educational goals while learning to enjoy a life of sobriety.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

CRC's intensive outpatient treatment facilities provide a "step-down" level of care that gives clients a flexible alternative to residential or day treatment. Patients will receive an individualized assessment, multidisciplinary treatment based on the 12-step philosophy, referrals for community services, and ongoing support specifically designed for those clients who do not require 24-hour care. Depending on their individual needs, clients can receive treatment at our facilities up to three hours a day, three days a week, while engaging in their normal everyday life at home.

Outpatient treatment provides a forum for clients to discuss issues and receive support while coping with their day-to-day work, school, and life stressors. In a traditional counseling setting, addiction specialists help patients resolve interpersonal conflicts, stress, anxiety, and other emotional concerns that relate to chemical dependency. Group therapy sessions may focus on strategies for maintaining sobriety, avoiding relapse, and developing a supportive environment for recovery. Our outpatient treatment facilities also offer education and support for families helping their loved one through the recovery process.

Serving men and women of all ages and backgrounds, our intensive outpatient programs provide a structured, educational, and supportive therapeutic setting for individuals to identify and address clinical problems that could interfere with the recovery process. With appropriate treatment, patients will better understand how their disorder has affected their personal and professional lives and how to manage their addiction in the future.

Comprehensive Treatment Clinics

Prescription drug abuse and opiate addiction impact millions of Americans every year. CRC Health operates a number of nationally recognized clinics that are dedicated to helping these individuals and their families regain control of their lives.

At welcoming, modern facilities conveniently located across the country, patients struggling with opiate addiction can receive treatment in a safe, clinically supportive environment. CRC's accomplished team of doctors and medical professionals has developed a widely recognized expertise in this area, receiving frequent invitations to host panel discussions and serve as featured speakers at conferences by the American Society of Addiction Medicine and other authorities in the field.

The goal of our comprehensive treatment clinics is first to stabilize patients so they can maintain independent, productive lives, and second to engage clients in the ongoing process of rehabilitation. Our clinics specialize in detoxification and recovery through medication-assisted therapy, counseling, and support services, as well as "Maintenance to Abstinence" programs for individuals who are addicted to opiates but have been using for a relatively short period of time.

Beginning with a detailed psychological assessment, our skilled staff guides patients through a medically supervised stabilization period that integrates individual, group, and family counseling with state-of-the-art medication treatments such as buprenorphine (SuboxoneT and SubutexT) and methadone, followed by continuing outpatient care. When taken as directed and at the appropriate dose, these medications have been proven to suppress symptoms of opioid withdrawal, decrease cravings for opioids, reduce illicit opioid use, block the effects of other opioids, and help patients stay committed to treatment.

This unique combination of services allows patients to rid their system of toxic substances in the most comfortable and convenient manner available, and to return to normal life drug-free. As patients progress with treatment, they may begin making less frequent visits to the clinic and administering their own medications at home - all with the support of their therapist and the clinic staff. Treatment continues until the individual has mastered the basic skills for self-care and ongoing recovery.

Extended Care

After patients have completed primary care at a residential facility or other program, extended care offers clients the flexibility to transition back into the community-at-large, gradually returning to work and family life, while living in a structured environment with other recovering individuals. With ongoing clinical support that includes drug and alcohol testing, addiction workshops, recovery lectures, counseling, 12-step meetings, and relapse prevention services, patients slowly learn to take responsibility for their own behavior and adjust to the demands of daily life.

Many of our extended care programs are located in vibrant recovery communities where individuals can enjoy a wide variety of activities and amenities, from art galleries and museums to beaches, parks, and shopping centers. These communities are highly supportive of recovering addicts, with dozens of sober restaurants and coffeehouses and plenty of part-time and full-time employment opportunities. In a safe environment with a built-in support system, patients can practice independent living skills that are crucial for long-term success.
