Partnering with Decision Point Center
At Decision Point Center, we recognize that referring medical and mental health professionals are invaluable partners in the recovery process. Our goal is to collaborate seamlessly with you to deliver the best possible outcomes for your clients. With a team of licensed clinicians, therapists, and case managers, we provide evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions in a safe, supportive environment.
• Experienced, Credentialed Team: Our staff includes physicians, therapists, and other specialists who bring extensive experience in addiction and mental health treatment.
• Holistic Approach: We address not only substance use but also underlying mental health issues and co-occurring disorders, creating a more comprehensive path to recovery.
• Respect & Communication: We value your clinical insights, keep you updated on your client’s progress, and work with you to build an integrated treatment plan.
Our Full Continuum of Care
Medically Supervised Detox
For clients in need of stabilization, our detox program offers 24/7 medical supervision to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. We use evidence-based protocols to ensure the comfort and well-being of each client, paving the way for a smoother transition into residential or outpatient treatment.
- Safety & Stability: Our medical team closely monitors vital signs and can intervene if complications arise.
- Comprehensive Assessment: We evaluate each client’s physical, emotional, and mental health needs to lay the groundwork for a personalized treatment plan.
- Ease of Transition: We help clients move seamlessly from detox to the next level of care.
Residential Treatment
Our residential inpatient program provides an immersive environment where clients receive around-the-clock support and have access to a range of therapeutic modalities. This structured setting helps individuals focus entirely on healing without the distractions of daily life.
- 24/7 Professional Care: Licensed clinicians and support staff are always available.
- Integrated Therapies: We offer individual counseling, group therapy, psychiatric care, and holistic approaches like mindfulness and experiential therapies.
- Collaboration & Updates: Regular status reports and discussion of treatment goals keep referring professionals informed and involved.
Outpatient Programs
Decision Point Center’s outpatient offerings, including our partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient program are designed for individuals who either step down from residential care or require a less intensive level of support. Outpatient programs help clients transition back into everyday life while still benefiting from consistent therapeutic guidance.
- Flexible Scheduling: Ideal for those balancing work, school, or family obligations.
- Continuity of Care: Our outpatient team stays in close contact with referring professionals to ensure alignment on treatment progress.
- Family Support: We provide education and counseling for family members, fostering a stronger support system outside of treatment sessions.
Our Collaborative Approach for Referring Professionals
We value open, consistent communication with referring professionals from day one. By combining your insights with our clinical expertise, we can develop and adjust treatment plans to best serve each client’s unique needs.
- Regular Progress Updates: Expect scheduled calls, emails, or written reports regarding client progress and any changes in treatment.
- Shared Goal-Setting: We invite referring professionals to collaborate on recovery goals and milestones.
- Transportation & Escort Services: When necessary, we can coordinate safe transport or sober escort to ensure a smooth transition to our facility.
Transition & Aftercare Coordination
Successful treatment extends beyond a client’s initial care. Decision Point Center remains committed to fostering a solid aftercare plan that sets the stage for long-term success.
- Comprehensive Discharge Planning: Before a client completes treatment, our team works with them and with you to design a personalized aftercare strategy.
- Ongoing Support: This may include continued outpatient therapy, support groups, sober living recommendations, or referrals to community resources.
- Family & Community Integration: Our team provides guidance and education to family members to help them support the client’s reintegration into everyday life.

This facility deserves a special recognition. They have been around for years but the services they provide and the recovery that comes out of their facility, only seem to grow over the years.

What Is Failure To Launch And How Do You Treat It?Failure to launch refers to a young person who is unable to leave the protection of the parental home to begin living independently. Whether young people succumb to substance misuse and lose the ability to focus and work effectively, or if they are self-medicating to overcome underlying mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, failure to launch is often the result of substance abuse. Decision Point assists with identity achievement, mental health disorders, functional relationship building, educational and career counseling services, and the trauma often found in young people suffering from failure to launch.

We Treat The Individual, Not Just The Addiction
-
At Decision Point Center we are committed to ALWAYS walking alongside you. Even once you have completed our program, we make ourselves and our resources available to you any time you need.
-
Just like no two individuals are alike, neither are two addictions. We offer many different services in order to ensure your program is customized to your unique needs and goals.
-
Unlike other centers, we treat the individual, not the addiction. We work with you both during treatment and then work to help prepare you for once you leave. The journey begins with us but continues with you.
-
Experience one of the most comprehensive assessments in the treatment world today and we understand that in order to treat the addiction, we must also treat the underlying cause.
