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.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called CBT) is helping people to understand the thoughts and emotions that underlie their addiction with the goal of learning new, healthier and more productive ways to understand and express themselves.

I have never been in a treatment facility before, and this was my first ever time, and first experience, so I didn’t know what to expect. Everyone, from the staff to the other clients, were all so kind and so sweet to me! the staff were very accomodating, especially in in regards to my diet. They did anything they could to make me feel welcomed, safe, and secure. They showed me my power and strength, and taught me how to use my voice, my power, and strength. I was taught things I never learned before. It’s definitely not your traditional treatment centre/rehab. But it’s great for those who don’t want a traditional one, like me, it’s the actual reason why I thrived in the first place. But this treatment centre isn’t for everybody, if you are looking for a little more structure, and little more tighter rules, and maybe a little more of a traditional setup, then this wouldn’t be the ideal place for you or a loved one to get help. But, if you are looking for a place that is laid back and still get help, then this is might be the ideal place! Good luck to anyone who is looking on getting help.

This facility is excellent! They truly are here for the patients and actually care what happens to them. I would recommend my family member to go to this facility if they needed it. They provide meals, therapists, medical care, housing and honestly great staff that make the clients feel apart of the team and help them on their journey on recovery. No facility is perfect but this one is the closest to it!!!

The alcohol and drug addiction treatment center has helped so many of my friends get clean and sober. Thanks to the incredible staff who has stuck around to maintain a positive and authentic impact on people struggling with addiction and dual-diagnosis! I highly recommend sending your loved one here!

I feel the reason I was kicked out was to keep billing my insurance. They didn’t have that many clients at the time. I would strongly pick another treatment center over Core Center

My friend’s son went there just recently. It was not a good experience for him. Im guessing lack of supervision, co-ed dorms. The outpatient kids and the inpatient kids attending same meetings. Disregard for the patients needs. Basically it appears to be one big party! After doing some digging I found out that this center was purchased by some corporation up north who has never had or ran an addiction treatment company and they know little to nothing about it.
