About A Positive Alternative
A Positive Alternative (APA) specializes in state-certified intensive outpatient programs, featuring thoughtfully organized gender-specific groups for both men and women. Each group is limited to 6-8 participants, ensuring a tailored treatment experience. The center strives to integrate substance use treatment with mental health care, offering a blend of individual therapy, family workshops, supportive groups, naturopathic wellness, and mindfulness-based strategies for preventing relapse. Utilizing evidence-based methods outside of the traditional 12-Step framework, APA provides a different avenue for recovery by addressing the underlying issues associated with substance use and equipping clients with strategies for meaningful, long-term change. Participants often emerge from the program with a healthier self-image and robust connections with fellow members, forming a lasting support system that continues beyond their time in treatment. Through APA’s emphasis on enhancing awareness of both mental and physical well-being, clients acquire essential skills to manage stress, handle discomfort, and effectively respond to triggers—key elements for preventing relapse.
