What We Treat

What Our Addiction Treatment Program Includes

Targeted Detox & Management

We treat alcohol, opioid, cocaine, methamphetamine, and benzodiazepine dependencies. Each substance creates different withdrawal symptoms and requires different treatment approaches. Our medical team has extensive experience managing the physical aspects of detoxification safely and as comfortably as possible.

The Dual Diagnosis Approach

Addiction rarely occurs in isolation. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD commonly co-occur and worsen each other. We thoroughly evaluate your mental health status alongside your substance use history to develop an integrated treatment plan that addresses both.

Philosophy & Modalities

Our Treatment Philosophy & Therapies

Recovery is possible for everyone. Addiction may change brain chemistry and behavior, but these changes can be reversed through proper treatment, time, and commitment. We believe that understanding why someone became addicted is as important as helping them stop using.

  • CBT & DBT Modalities

    Cognitive-behavioral therapy to change thought patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation.

  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

    FDA-approved medications to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms, heavily supported by clinical outcomes.

  • Trauma & Family Support

    Addressing underlying drivers and repairing damaged family dynamics through intensive group and family therapy. Learn about our trauma program.

Tailored Care

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two people’s addictions are identical, so no two treatment plans should be identical. During your initial assessment, we spend considerable time understanding your substance use history, your medical background, and your mental health status. We explore your family situation, work history, and personal goals for recovery.

Based on this thorough assessment, our clinical team develops a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. This plan identifies your core issues, including any underlying trauma, depression, or family dynamics, and builds on your strengths. It evolves as you progress through treatment, ensuring you always receive the right level of care.

Continuum of Care

Addiction is not a one-size-fits-all condition, and recovery requires different intensities of care at different times. Destination Hope provides a full continuum of care designed to meet you where you are, from medically supervised detoxification to residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. Explore our levels of care.
