Taking the best ideas from over 40 years of treating substance abusers in our long-term and short-term residential programs, the START program is an excellent option for individuals with chronic drug and alcohol problems. The START program utilizes a holistic approach in which traditional and alternative treatment methods are used. The program is tailored to fit the needs of the individual with treatment typically lasting six (6) months and length of stay varying according to client need. While this program has exemplary achievements with all age groups, we have found notable success with young adults who often have difficulty maintaining sobriety. The START program offers the following services in a nurturing and structured atmosphere:

• Individual Counseling
• Group Therapy
• Relapse Prevention
• Dual Diagnosis Track
• Family Education and Counseling
• Vocational Preparation
• Stress Reduction
• Anger Management
• Physical Conditioning Program with personal trainers and jogging
• Meditation and Movement Therapy
• 12-Step Support
• Free Aftercare

The START program provides the necessary structure and time to create approaches that work for life. Call our Admissions office at 800-785-2400 or 510-548-7270 if you or someone you love is ready for a fresh START.
