Medical Detox and Residential Treatment Programs
Stepping Stone Center begins the recovery process with medically supervised detox services, providing 24-hour medical oversight for safe withdrawal management from alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Their residential treatment program follows detox, offering intensive therapeutic intervention in a structured environment where clients can focus entirely on early recovery work.
The residential program incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy sessions, and individual counseling to address the psychological aspects of addiction. As a certified Opioid Treatment Program, the facility provides medically assisted treatment for clients with opioid use disorders, combining FDA-approved medications with comprehensive behavioral therapy for optimal outcomes.
Outpatient Programs and Aftercare Support
Transitioning from residential care, Stepping Stone's outpatient program allows clients to maintain work, family, and community connections while continuing structured treatment. Outpatient services include ongoing therapy sessions, medication management, and relapse prevention planning tailored to each person's recovery goals.
The center's alumni program creates lasting connections between program graduates, fostering a recovery community that extends well beyond treatment completion. This aftercare support helps maintain accountability and provides ongoing peer encouragement as individuals navigate long-term sobriety in their home communities.
