Description

WE DO NOT DEAL WITH RECRUITERS

COMPANY MISSION

We are an At-Home provider for the treatment of Substance Use Disorder (SUD = Alcoholism and Drug Addiction) and Co-Occurring Mental Health Condition(s).

We are strong advocates of what is often referred to as the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Model, which has inspired us to create an At-Home approach to treating addiction. Combined, our medical and clinical professionals have over 100 years of experience treating the Disease of Addiction.

We believe it is extremely important for individuals struggling with addiction to alcohol and/or narcotics, as well as their loved ones, to understand this medical condition is considered to be a chronic ("incurable") disease. We can not cure you, but our At-Home approach is proving to be quite effective with "arresting" the disease long-term.

We subscribe to the "traditional treatment bubble" idea -- please see out website on our philosophy -- and believe that keeping patients in a real life setting while we are constantly there to help them overcome relapse triggers is far more efficacious long-term than the consistently similar programming and routines offered within an institution.

Although our full addiction treatment program involves 3 Phases that last 52 weeks, depending on where you are in your addiction recovery, we can offer our services in an a la carte fashion. We can offer Phase I Detox services on its own, but we caution that such services are short-term in nature and the probability of relapse is high if only Detox services are offered. We offer Phase II Intensive tele-health counseling and tele-medicine services which offers a continuum of care, immediately following Phase I Detox services. Lastly, our Phase III Electronic Monitoring Phase allows the patient to remain in constant touch with our clinicians and medical personnel to give the patient the highest probability for long term sobriety.
