The facility had medication hours from 6 to 11 am, Monday through Friday, and from 6 to 9 am on Saturdays. Clients typically start on a high dosage of their meds and step down as they start to lose their cravings.
In conjunction with the medication aspect of treatment, there are weekly individual and group therapy. It’s worth mentioning that attendance at these session is mandatory. The sessions address setbacks, successes and any issues clients may be facing. During therapy clients may discuss past instances that may have guided them towards their dependance, such as childhood trauma.
