Safe Harbor Recovery Center uses an integrated and evidence-based approach to residential and
partial hospitalization treatment. Their therapies include
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (
DBT), narrative therapies, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. Treatment consists of individual, group, and family counseling, addressing medical/biological needs, mental health, nutritional guidance, spirituality, emotional health, physical exercise, and life skills.
Safe Harbor’s PHP program takes place Monday-Friday from 8:30 am–3:30 pm. This program advances recovery through comprehensive addiction treatment services, including individual counseling, relapse prevention, aftercare planning, weekly medical management appointments, weekly yoga sessions, and mindfulness education. Veteran-specific PHP is also available at Safe Harbor.
Safe Harbor’s staff have participated in PsychArmor’s training program to better help veterans throughout their recovery from substance use. The 45-day
residential treatment program includes family and support system involvement, trauma-informed care, yoga, nutrition education, equine therapy, and neurofeedback services. Service dogs are welcome.
30 days after graduation, clients can join Safe Harbor’s alumni group, which meets one Sunday per month. The group shares challenges and successes in early recovery. Reunions are also held on an annual basis.
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 Safe Harbor Recovery Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
