Hegira Programs Inc (HPI) Oakdale Recovery Center

The IOP at Oakdale Recovery Center provides structured addiction treatment while allowing participants to maintain their daily responsibilities. Program sessions combine group therapy, individual counseling, and skill-building workshops using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. The flexible scheduling accommodates work schedules and family commitments that often make residential treatment challenging.

Clinical coordinator Kim Baker (MA, LPC, CAADC) oversees daily operations to ensure consistent therapeutic progress. Participants work with licensed addiction counselors to develop practical coping strategies and relapse prevention skills. The program's anger management component addresses behavioral patterns that often contribute to substance use triggers.

Lead therapist Heather Estill (MA, LPC, LCDC, ICAADC, CAADC) specializes in treating participants with both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. This dual diagnosis expertise ensures that underlying depression, anxiety, or other psychiatric conditions receive appropriate attention during recovery. The integrated treatment approach prevents the common cycle where untreated mental health symptoms lead to substance use relapse.

Medical Director Philip A. Gilly's background in family medicine provides comprehensive oversight for participants with complex medical and psychiatric needs. The treatment team coordinates care with outside providers when necessary, ensuring all aspects of a person's health support their recovery goals.

Oakdale Recovery Center adapted their service delivery to include both traditional in-person sessions and telehealth options. This flexibility proves particularly valuable for participants in western Wayne County who may face transportation challenges or work schedule conflicts. The technology integration allows continuity of care during various life circumstances.

Program manager Teri Baker (LMSW, CAADC, CCS-M) ensures that both delivery methods maintain the same clinical standards and therapeutic outcomes. Participants often use a combination of in-person and virtual sessions based on their current needs and circumstances throughout their recovery process.
