The Treatment Team

Our treatment team is comprised of licensed clinical social workers with 14 to 52 years of experience and a combined professional clinical tenure of 135 years.  Each team member presents with a very vested and personal interest in recovery from addictive disorders and traumatic injury with a combined investment in personal recovery of over 140 years.

We function like a team rather than a group of independent practitioners with weekly individual and group supervision, daily collaboration and mutual accountability.  During an intensive that coordination, collaboration and supervision is elevated beyond the level that one would expect of a residential treatment team.  The course of treatment is developed by the administrative team and clinical supervision is insured on a session by session basis.  This level of mutual support and monitoring allows us to make adjustments to the goals and objectives needed to respond to the emerging needs of our clients with a fluidity that enables our clients to feel like they are in a therapeutic intensive care unit.

Prior to the start of the intensive the team receives an in-depth briefing on the results of the evaluation and the goals and objectives that will guide their work.  Once the intensive is underway, our clients are keenly aware that every team member has real time access to what has developed in all the previous sessions of that day as well as any changes that have been proposed to the course in treatment.  Throughout the intensive all sessions are supervised remotely by the intensive design team.  The ability to review the client’s progress in real time allows for a highly differentiated course in treatment that undergoes numerous modifications prior to the conclusion. The Discharge Conference is the last event of the intensive to review progress and make specific recommendations for maintaining progress after the intensive is concluded.

Clients have the options of continuing in after or ongoing care with a member of the treatment team, returning to their own private clinician or enhancing the support group that they had established prior to beginning the intensive.
