Interactive Dialogue: High level of one-on-one engagement between the individual and the clinical team with buy-in and consent at every step of the treatment process.
Caliber and Experience of Staff: Four psychiatrists on staff are ASAM certified meet individually with patients and conduct groups; all Therapists are minimum masters level and trained in EMDR; nursing staff are experienced and qualified; and all Intake counselors are Bachelor or Master level and trained in motivational interviewing, so callers experience presence and safety in disclosure from the first call and are introduced to therapeutic dialogue from the outset of discussion with Santé staff members.
Length of stay gives patients permission to address drivers behind addiction and compulsion, identify and interrupt unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaving, and learn strategies of freedom through accountability.
Santé treatment is based on a 12-step spiritual foundation to treat addiction as addiction, and to utilize an integrated and interdisciplinary psychotherapeutic model of individual healing.
Santé treatment addresses the disease of addiction and compulsion from a wholistic approach of dealing with body, mind, and emotions.
