Treatment Program
The Herrington Recovery Center provides education, support and therapy in a home-like setting to assist residents as they develop personal, family and career lifestyles free of addictions. The program utilizes the components of 12-step programs as a basis for treatment.

Through individual and group sessions as well as family education, residents confront their defense mechanisms and identify strengths and weaknesses in order to understand their illness and the solutions to begin their recovery process.

A unique five-day evaluation also is available for professionals who interface with licensing boards and other regulatory agencies. To answer concerns that may be raised by employers, licensing boards or family members, a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment recommendations are provided.
