Our Addiction Treatment Programs
Drug and Alcohol Detox
Inpatient Treatment
Outpatient Treatment
Sober Living
Drug & Alcohol Detox
A crucial first step in the recovery process, our detox program provides a comfortable, medically supervised environment that addresses the physical aspect of addiction and eliminates substances from your body.
Inpatient treatment provides an intensive and comprehensive addiction treatment program in a structured environment. You will receive 24/7 expert care, therapy, and support as you build your foundation for long-term recovery.
Once detox and inpatient are complete, we provide an easy transition to outpatient care through our hand-selected partners. This program offers a more flexible approach, allowing you to ease back in to daily life while still receiving frequent & effective care.
Sober living provides a supportive and substance-free living environment for your ongoing recovery. We partner with a number of upscale and carefully vetted sober living homes that are available to our clients after inpatient alcohol and drug addiction treatment.
Medication-Assisted Treatment provides you with FDA-approved medications to help ease the symptoms of withdrawal while you’re in treatment. This makes the detox process easier and safer, as well as increasing the chances of a successful recovery.
Dual Diagnosis is a highly effective addiction treatment that addresses substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously. Often co-occurring, these disorders are best managed when treated together with specific and targeted therapy.
An essential part of your treatment experience, we offer individual (CBT and DBT talk therapy) and group addiction treatment counseling to help you explore and address the emotional component of addiction, providing you with the tools, self-awareness, and empowerment you need to maintain recovery.
Our holistic therapy treatments offer a full-scope approach to recovery, addressing your mind, body, and emotions as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. This therapy is designed to help address underlying issues and integrate alternative therapies to promote overall health and well-being.

“Gratitude Lodge is the most amazing treatment center! They help you detox and most importantly teach you coping skills, they dive into your inner self, and give you the tools to be able to re-enter into this world a way better person than you were when you went in. My wife and I both went to their treatment program and we are both better people to each other and everyone else because of it! We will forever be grateful”

Addiction treatment is often covered by insurance, especially in the case of employer-issued policies. Coverage will vary depending on plan and provider, so it’s best to reach out to our team to find out what your coverage will be.
Addiction treatment does work, however it requires a consistent commitment on behalf of the individual and a quality, customized treatment program for highest chances of sustained recovery.
The ultimate goal of addiction treatment is sustained recovery from substance abuse as well as improvement of the individual’s overall health and well-being.
The most common forms of treatment for addiction include counseling, therapy, Dual Diagnosis Treatment, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
