About Equinox Counseling and Wellness

By combining the best components of wilderness therapy, holistic therapies, evidence-based therapies and family therapy, Equinox offers a unique approach to an intensive outpatient program.
They provide an intensive treatment program for children and adolescents ages 9-17 who are experiencing severe emotional and behavioral disorders. The clinicians work with the clients to move from a place of apathy/self-destruction to authentic relationship and connection within the family and social circle. Another key aspect to this program is the coaching program for parents so they can be involved and actively participate in the counseling process.They also offer a program for young adults ages 18-28 that helps them move from adolescence to adulthood and address issues related to “failure to launch.” In this program, they teach the importance of self-care and emotional wellness, life skills, assistance with employment and education and the importance of fitness and nutrition.
Both programs include individual and family therapy, neurofeedback, wilderness therapy to cultivate responsibility and empowerment, group therapy to encourage positive peer connection, expressive art therapy, somatic therapy and academic assistance. For clients ages 18-28, Equinox offers supported living assistance and vocational development opportunities.

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 Equinox Counseling and Wellness provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
