Treatment and Staff
Before beginning treatment at Newcastle, clients speak with a team member on the phone to determine eligibility. From there, individuals undergo a comprehensive intake evaluation that helps the facility design the best possible personalized treatment strategy that they tailor to address the specific needs and goals of the individual client. Newcastle provides specialized opioid substitution therapy that replaces opioids with medications like buprenorphine and methadone. The program operates on a six-week schedule with varying treatment days each week.
While methadone and buprenorphine are integral components of care, Newcastle provides clients with an integrative treatment experience that includes several complementary therapies. Clients engage in individual and group therapy sessions that clinicians root in evidence-based ACT. Because of this, individuals learn to accept their past without trying to change it.
