About Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment
This lakeside center provides structured residential support for men dealing with substance use and mental health concerns, including opioid dependence, gambling addiction, and co-occurring conditions. Using a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, the treatment program brings together counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and mental health services to help individuals build sustained recovery and move back toward independent living.
Center for Alcohol & Drug Treatment offers dedicated therapy pathways for veterans and for those struggling with gambling-related problems. Residents receive round-the-clock oversight, customized counseling plans, and direct access to mental health professionals. Programming typically includes both one-on-one and group sessions, using evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The center also provides gender-specific programming designed to strengthen emotional regulation, support sobriety, and improve community reintegration.
For opioid use disorder, Center for Alcohol & Drug Treatment includes medication options such as methadone and Suboxone, along with psychiatric services, support from clinical pharmacists, and spiritual care. Recovery is reinforced through life skills training, relapse prevention planning, and job-readiness support, which help clients rebuild confidence and restore stability, including assistance with securing housing and employment after discharge.
