Admissions - Addiction Treatment

At CARE Drug Rehabilitation and Addiction Treatment, we offer many comprehensive programs - from primary treatment to extended care - to assist our clients in achieving lasting sobriety. Each of our new clients participates in a medical and mental health screening by our staff physician, a clinical therapist and a psychiatrist. These screenings help you and your therapist design a unique treatment plan that reflects the needs identified during this evaluation process. A treatment plan identifies specific challenges you and your therapist believe should be addressed during your stay at CARE, while it also provides a tool for measuring progress.

If you or a loved one need assistance, please call 866.494.0866 at any time. An admissions professional will discuss the challenges facing you or your loved one and help decide the best course of action. As always, all information is kept confidential, and we gladly accommodate wishes for further contact in regards to our addiction treatment programs.
