Treatment Philosophy
Providing a holistic integrated approach to treating mental illness and substance use disorders that focuses on three goals such as Intervention, Stabilization, and Rehabilitation for recovery. Our treatment philosophy is meeting our patients where they are while suspending judgements, eliminating biases and providing a patient-centered, goal-directed care in their best interest through implementation of unique handpicked theories and applications that meet their needs. This is in conjunction with faith and cultural sensitivity. In addition, medication management is integrated at times along with psychotherapy for some patients' optimal level of care. We believe that our job is to engage, encourage and empower patients to meet acceptance, be accountable, promote self-love and improve their self-esteem. We give our patients insight into challenges in their lives so that they can develop better ways to cope and gain awareness in their healing journey.
