About Choices in Recovery Center

Choices in Recovery is a nonprofit facility dedicated to assisting adults facing challenges with substance use disorder, including both drug and alcohol dependencies. The center provides a comprehensive array of services, which encompasses detoxification, residential programs, outpatient care, and sober living arrangements. With more than three decades of experience, Choices is devoted to guiding individuals and their families at every stage of the recovery process.

The center utilizes a blend of evidence-based treatment methods along with a 12-step approach to foster sustainable recovery. Each client receives personalized care that is sensitive to trauma and cultural backgrounds, catering to their specific requirements. Therapy options encompass group sessions, strategies for relapse prevention, and training in life skills, enabling clients to cultivate positive habits and self-assurance as they progress.

In the residential program, clients reside in organized, supportive environments that offer much more than mere accommodation—they provide structure, daily responsibilities, group activities, and avenues for personal development through community service, job assistance, and educational opportunities. This holistic approach facilitates clients in reconstructing their lives within a secure and nurturing atmosphere.
