First Step Recovery provides patients with customized detox and residential treatment options. They specialize in sub-acute detox, which involves 24/7 medical monitoring from addiction-trained medical professionals. Once patients have completed detox, they move onto residential treatment which aims to help clients process thoughts, feelings, personal triggers and habits that create barriers to their recovery. Their masters-level clinicians use cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, group counseling, individual counseling, and recreational therapy to treat both substance use disorders and many additional mental health disorders. They also specialize in using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation which stimulates nerve cells in the brain to treat symptoms of depression. Holistic Approach and Comfortable Environment At the heart of First Step’s approach is creating a safe environment that offers multi-dimensional, person-centered treatment. Given this holistic point of view, they offer gender-specific counseling, which helps facilitate communication with ease. They believe that all patients benefit from 12-Step programs that offer fellowship and inspiration. First Step also provides opportunities to develop healthy behaviors through use of life skills education, yoga and fitness classes, meditation and mindfulness training. After completing residential treatment, First Step partners with Travco Behavioral Health to extend care in an outpatient setting. First Step offers modern amenities to help make treatment as comfortable as possible. They provide coffee all day, designated smoking areas, flat-screen TVs in each room, and chef-prepared meals.
