Full Spectrum Recovery offers an environment that preserves the privacy, dignity and respect for the individual clients with whom we work. In a therapeutic setting that is researched based and evidence driven we work as a cohesive group of professionals from all disciplines to create treatment plans specific to the needs of the individual. This allows our team to support our clients in changing addictive behavior patterns. When the client is ready we can begin to deal with the underlying causes and effects of their compulsive behavior.

In a therapeutic setting with a non-judgmental and respectful approach we meet the individual “where they presently are” not where others think they should be. Harm reduction is the focus of each of our programs offered at Full Spectrum Recovery. Our services are of exceptional benefit to those who are experiencing emotional, behavioral and relationship difficulties that may interfere with their serenity and, ultimately, not allowing them to live up to their potential.

PHILOSOPHY
What Makes Us Different

Full Spectrum Recovery is an outpatient treatment program that provides affordable and respectful intervention services that help you and those you care about get support for drug or alcohol problems.

We have an innovative and nonjudgmental approach to drug and alcohol problems, that works with our clients "where they're at" and not where others think they should be. Flexibility, privacy and choice are hallmarks of our program.

We firmly believe that our clients will be motivated to work on a goal that they themselves choose. Therefore, we provide a bouquet of research based treatment tracks from moderation to abstinence that help substance abusers choose their most appropriate starting point to reduce harm.

If it appears the initially chosen goal cannot be met, we support rapid movement towards a more appropriate goal. We may encourage participation in Alcoholics Anonymous or a variety of structured treatment programs, including detoxification, if more support is needed.

We bring over 50 years of experience with inpatient and outpatient treatment, with specific focus on substance abuse and dependency, family crisis interventions, relapse prevention, spirituality, and long-term after care.

We stress progress not perfection on the journey towards successful recovery.

What If I'm Not Completely Ready To Work On My Drug Or Alcohol Problem At This Time?

With our approach you do not have to be ready. Typical treatment approaches judge clients as "in denial" if they do not readily embrace abstinence. There is an assumption that you must "hit bottom" in order to be self motivated. At Full Spectrum Recovery we believe that ambivalence and confusion concerning alcohol and other drug related problems is normal. All substance abusers must proceed at their own pace through specific stages in their recovery, including relapse. It is our job to help empower our clients with motivational strategies that move them through these stages as rapidly as possible.

What Do You Mean By Recovery?

A classic definition of recovery has been limited to continuous, total abstinence while working a 12-step program. Our 21st century approach expands the definition to "a willingness to take action now to reduce the harm of alcohol and other drugs". Recovery occurs when the client determines there is a problem and begins movement towards change. While we embrace the classic definition of recovery for some clients, we acknowledge that others are also in recovery whenever they select and work towards a goal that reduces harm.

How Do I Know I Can Succeed?

You already have taken the first step! The very fact that you have visited our web site indicates that you may have a problem. Now is the time to pick up the telephone and reach out for help. Our staff of licensed therapists stands ready to help you choose your recovery path.

What About Confidentiality?

We understand the absolute need to respect privacy. We will not release information to anyone without the written consent of the client except as required by law.

Adolescent Treatment
Several members of our treatment team specialize in working with adolescent development. We view acting out behaviors, such as substance use, as a symptom of a larger problem. Our therapeutic approach is based on motivational enhancement strategies. We look to elicit motivation from the adolescent, rather than settling for simple compliance.

Couples Counseling
Alcohol and drugs can impact all relationships. We stress that opportunities to heal are always present. We provide the tools to carry out this healing process. Emphasis is placed on re-establishing trust and intimacy through education, communication skills and conflict resolution.
