The program combines early screening, identification of strengths and growth points, and recommendations for integrating a psychological growth plan with spiritual formation. Options range from inpatient to day treatment to outpatient care. The heart of the treatment program is the intensive outpatient program in which group therapies complement individual therapy and spiritual direction. Basic and advanced levels of care are available in the intensive outpatient program. We consciously try to balance necessary privacy of the individual with the movement toward a life of greater honesty and more successful relationship with authority and peers.
Lengths of stay are individually determined according to the particular needs of the client.
