Treatment Protocol and Team

Dellwood Recovery Center provides detox, residential and outpatient services for adult clients as well as outpatient care for adolescents. Each client’s admission process involves a physician visit and an assessment interview between client and counselor as well as family and counselor. For those in need, detox can be provided that includes around-the-clock supervision by the nursing staff. This process takes between two and seven days.

Lengths of stay in the residential program vary depending on the specific needs of the clients. The typical treatment length is between 20 and 30 days. A resident’s typical day includes group therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI) and on-site 12-step meetings. The facility offers weekly individual therapy and plenty of 12-step support. Other programs include peer group therapy, anger management, relapse prevention and family education. In addition, the facility offers a self-assessment class called “Insight” that gives clients an opportunity to conduct their own assessment of their addiction. An exercise video is available for clients willing to wake up early.

Outpatient is a key aspect to the treatment program at Dellwood. To this end, the facility offers a flexible schedule to meet the client’s needs, including a six-hour intensive day program and a program with therapy equally divided between mornings and evenings. For adolescent clients, the facility accommodates after-school outpatient services. Like the residential treatment program, outpatient services are rooted in the 12-steps.

Dellwood offers a comprehensive program to support the family and friends of clients. This includes group sessions and private conferences between the client, their loved ones and a therapist.

The team at Dellwood is comprised of LADCs, physicians, psychologists, Master’s –level therapists and a nursing team.
