Residential Treatment Programs
Horizons provides residential treatment within a structured recovery environment designed for adults requiring intensive addiction treatment. The facility combines residential programming with medically monitored detoxification services, allowing clients to complete withdrawal management and transition directly into ongoing residential care without facility transfers.
The residential treatment program addresses substance abuse, mental health conditions, and behavioral health concerns through daily therapeutic programming. Clinical staff utilize CBT techniques alongside medication-assisted treatment protocols, creating a comprehensive approach that supports both immediate stabilization and long-term recovery planning within the residential setting.
Medication-Assisted Treatment Services

Medical Director Dr. Guillermo Katigbak oversees medication protocols within the residential treatment framework, ensuring proper dosing and monitoring throughout the recovery process.
This medication-assisted approach addresses the physiological aspects of opioid addiction while residential programming focuses on behavioral change and relapse prevention skills. The combination allows clients to stabilize medically while developing coping strategies and recovery tools necessary for successful community reintegration after residential treatment completion.
Specialized Populations and Aftercare Planning
