The residential level of care offers round-the-clock support, detailed assessments, and personalized treatment plans. Individual and group therapy are integral to addressing diverse needs in a structured and supportive environment.

Outpatient

PHP & IOP programs delivers a flexible and effective recovery solution, allowing individuals to balance treatment with their daily responsibilities.

Individualized Treatment Plan

Advisory Board

The HERO’s Ascent program is shaped by an advisory board of veterans, first responders, military personnel, and healthcare professionals. Their ongoing support and consultation ensure the program meets the unique needs of these communities. Our team, experienced in working with responders and military professionals, understands the complexities of their roles, fostering effective therapeutic relationships.

Trauma

Specialized trauma treatment includes innovative approaches like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and accelerated resolution therapy (ART). We address trauma with foundational techniques such as grounding, resourcing, and stabilization, complemented by sleep assistance and group therapy.

Pain

Our holistic approach to chronic pain incorporates specialized physical therapy, fitness programs, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), graduated narcotic detoxification, targeted group therapy, and nutritional meal planning. We address the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of chronic pain through a comprehensive treatment plan.

Assessments

The HERO’S Ascent program offers a 96-hour assessment designed for an independent and thorough evaluation. This assessment is particularly valuable for individuals in safety-sensitive roles, such as first responders and healthcare professionals, to evaluate any mental, physical, or substance abuse issues that may impact their professional practice.

Available therapies encompass cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR INSOMNIA CBT-I. In addition to these, our  HERO’S Program includes specialized treatments for chronic pain and trauma, such as EMDR therapy, ART, spiritual counseling, physical and recreational therapy, and clinical programming including ropes interventions, sleep assistance, and NADA protocol to assist with withdrawal symptoms.
