Tara Treatment Center provides a holistic approach to substance abuse treatment, promoting mental, physical and spiritual health. Combining 12-Step programs with evidence-based therapy, Tara offers treatment services such as detoxification, residential programs, outpatient care, anger management, individual and group counseling, and relapse prevention and coping strategies to encourage lifelong recovery.

Facility Highlights

  • Psycho-Education
  • Group and Individual Therapy
  • Relapse Prevention Therapy

Specialization

  • Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

    Patients who undergo intensive outpatient treatment continue to live at home and sometimes go to school or work while participating in a highly structured treatment protocol that is focused on ending substance abuse. Programs vary in terms of how much treatment patients receive, how often and for how long. Some facilities design individualized intensive outpatient treatment programs.
  • Aftercare Support

    Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a rehab program. Facilities that offer aftercare planning and/or support work with patients to ensure sustainable recovery by helping to plan and make arrangements for transitional or sober living, help with housing, vocational counseling, etc.

My experience was awful. I was supposed to be pre admitted from a 6 day detox. But when arriving in the med cab at 7:00pm they turned me away. The staff is incredibly unprofessional in even the way they address one another. I’m grateful that God chose a different path for other than Tara Poor Treatment Center.

I entered Tara this Spring for the 30 day program on my own. I was ready to stop drinking after many , many years. I found the staff very understanding for the most part but let’s face the fact . Under going change is difficult. I had good and bad days. Mostly good. Days are structured,. You will know where to be and when. I found being on a routine was the first step in learning all the teaching received. The first week ten days were my hardest , for me. Everybody is different and the staff knows that. If you are genuinely ready to make life changes, then check out Tara! It made a huge difference in my life. Thanks Tara for remaining open during this pandemic and continuing your service to those of us willing to except the ( help ) It’s changed my life for the better.

I am a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor having been employed at Tara Treatment Center as well as other treatment programs. I believe Tara provides a premier program for Substance Dependence. The curriculum is designed for addiction education and long-term recovery lifestyle applications. 12 Step principles and fellowship are included in the program and intended to be implemented while residing at Tara. Many of the staff are in recovery, having attended treatment at Tara and exemplify their "ownership" of what the program is today. Clients enter a family atmosphere and spiritual setting upon entering the program and can enjoy a life-changing Tara Experience when they are ready and able to engage in the recovery process. I have and will continue to refer loved ones to Tara Treatment Center. Keep up the great work!
