That’s why our treatment model blends the best of science-backed therapies with holistic healing practices—creating truly personalized care.
Evidence-based therapies such as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), EMDR, and neurofeedback address the medical and psychological aspects of addiction. At the same time, holistic practices like yoga, breathwork, acupuncture, and sound therapy promote balance, reduce stress, and heal the mind-body connection.
This comprehensive approach allows us to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms of addiction—helping clients achieve lasting sobriety, resilience, and wellness.
