Detox Program

First Responders often require immediate and specialized care to safely detoxify from substances. Our detox program spans 7 to 14 days, overseen by experienced medical professionals who prioritize safety and comfort throughout the process. This phase is critical in managing withdrawal symptoms and preparing individuals for the next stages of treatment.

What We Offer

Therapy and Counseling For First Responders

At American Detox and Treatment (ADTC), therapy and counseling play a central role in our comprehensive treatment approach. As clients transition into residential care, they benefit from dedicated one-on-one counseling sessions designed to address personal needs and goals. These individual therapy sessions offer up to 6 hours of focused support per week, allowing clients to explore underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and work towards sustainable recovery.

In addition to one-on-one counseling, ADTC offers extensive group therapy sessions, totaling up to 27 hours per week. Group therapy provides a supportive environment where clients can connect with peers facing similar challenges, fostering mutual understanding, empathy, and collective healing. Facilitated by experienced therapists, these sessions cover various topics including relapse prevention, stress management, interpersonal relationships, and life skills development. Group therapy at ADTC not only enhances social connection and peer support but also reinforces key therapeutic concepts and encourages active participation in the recovery process.

Our integrated approach to therapy and counseling recognizes the importance of individualized care and community support in achieving long-term sobriety and overall well-being. By combining personalized one-on-one sessions with immersive group therapy experiences, we empower clients to address the complexities of addiction, navigate personal growth, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. At ADTC, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy that promotes healing, resilience, and positive change in the lives of our clients.

They collaborate with external resources and community partners to arrange suitable aftercare programs or support services tailored to the client's unique circumstances. This may include referrals to outpatient therapy, sober living arrangements, continuing education, or vocational support, ensuring that clients have the necessary tools and resources to maintain sobriety and wellness post-discharge.
