But the condition can be treated, and the rehab utilizes multidisciplinary assessments, state-of-the-art treatment protocols, 12-Step facilitation and cognitive behavioral therapies to help clients recover. The Gainesville location offers a comprehensive continuum of care designed to heal the whole person, including detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient services and continuing care.

Specialization
Intensive Out Patient (IOP)
Patients who undergo intensive outpatient treatment continue to live at home and sometimes go to school or work while participating in a highly structured treatment protocol that is focused on ending substance abuse. Programs vary in terms of how much treatment patients receive, how often and for how long. Some facilities design individualized intensive outpatient treatment programs.Medical Detoxification
Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects throughout your body, including but not limited to the addiction and/or physical/psychological dependence that develops with substance abuse over time. Many organ systems are affected by addiction and will react to withdrawal. The term “medical detoxification” means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal.
