Decade2Connect

Decade2Connect specializes in a family systems model for children and adolescents, providing care from outpatient sessions to a structured intensive outpatient program (IOP). This approach is built on involving the entire family unit as active participants in the therapeutic process. It addresses deep-rooted communication issues and conflict, ensuring that healing and growth are supported and sustained within the home environment long after treatment ends.
Treatment prioritizes hands-on engagement through specialized experiential therapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy. These methods are specifically designed to make therapy more accessible and effective for young patients, fostering creativity, self-expression, and genuine connection during the healing process. Using modalities like play, art, and music, children can process complex emotions and develop skills in a more natural, non-confrontational format. In addition, animal-assisted therapy is offered with their dog, Rigby, whose personality is well-suited for working with people.
A cornerstone of their program is parent coaching rooted in emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT), which equips caregivers with practical skills to become effective “emotion coaches” for their children. This training helps families navigate difficult feelings together. Combining this parent-focused approach with direct therapy for the child creates a comprehensive support system that strengthens family bonds and fosters long-term emotional resilience.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Decade2Connect provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Decade2Connect offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Decade2Connect works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
