12-Step
The term “12 Step Program” describes a way to recover from addiction that is based on the model developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. Many drug and alcohol treatment centers base their treatment on 12 steps – the first three of which are situational, the next four addressing the practical issues created by the addiction, followed by two steps focused on making amends for hurting others. Steps 10 and 11 involve a deeper examination of the previous steps and the final step is focused on helping others avoid and recover from addiction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called CBT) is helping people to understand the thoughts and emotions that underlie their addiction with the goal of learning new, healthier and more productive ways to understand and express themselves.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The treatment center utilizes Native American practices such as smudging, a Talking Circle, or drumming. Programming also includes evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-focused eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Seeking Safety, treatment for co-occurring disorders, and 12-step facilitation.
There are three levels in the center's residential program: detox, four to six weeks of high-intensity treatment, and advanced recovery. During the middle phase, residents participate in a highly-structured schedule, which includes individual and group therapy, educational sessions, a weekly family meeting, peer support groups, and exercise and recreation.
The low-intensity advanced recovery program allows residents to remain at the center for up to two years. During this phase, they focus on life skills training and case management services such as support for developing social support systems, finding housing and employment, and addressing legal issues.
