Using Every Tool Available
Ashley incorporates medication supported recovery into treatment plans where clinically appropriate. FDA-approved medications help reduce withdrawal symptoms, manage cravings, and stabilize brain chemistry during early recovery, giving patients a clearer foundation for the therapeutic work ahead. Medication is one tool among many, never a substitute for the clinical and behavioral work that drives lasting recovery. .

Opioid Addiction Treatment Services
Our opioid addiction treatment services prioritize a holistic approach to recovery.

By empowering patients to create personalized schedules aligned with their interests and requirements, we maximize the effectiveness of our programs, guiding individuals towards lasting recovery. From psychotherapy and group therapy to medication-assisted treatment and holistic activities, we equip individuals with essential coping skills to navigate the challenges of recovery. While opioid use disorder may be a chronic condition, our program emphasizes that it is manageable with the right support and resources.
Drug Addiction Treatment Services
Ashley has provided inpatient drug abuse treatment for more than 40 years. Programs are built on evidence-based methods and delivered by licensed clinicians who specialize in substance use disorder. Treatment addresses the full picture of addiction, not just the substance, including the behavioral patterns, emotional triggers, and underlying conditions that drive continued use.
Each patient receives a personalized drug treatment plan developed at intake and adjusted as treatment progresses. That plan draws from a range of proven therapeutic approaches, including:
- Individual therapy to address personal history, trauma, and underlying mental health conditions
- Group counseling that builds accountability and peer connection
- Medication supported recovery where clinically appropriate to manage cravings and stabilize recovery
- Family programming to repair relationships and build a stronger support system at home
- Relapse prevention planning grounded in real-world coping strategies
- Physical wellness and holistic activities that support whole-body healing
Ashley’s drug treatment services cover alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, stimulants, marijuana, and polysubstance use. Whatever the substance, the approach is the same: treat the person, not just the addiction.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse identifies individualized treatment planning and addressing co-occurring conditions as two of the strongest predictors of long-term recovery success. Both are built into every Ashley program from day one.
Addiction affects the whole family
We help families cope with and overcome the effects of substance use disorder through programming specific to children, parents and caregivers. Featuring weekly virtual support meetings, our Family Support provides engagement and resources to families during these difficult times.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does addiction treatment at Ashley take?
Treatment length depends on clinical need, not a fixed calendar. A standard inpatient stay is 28 days, but many patients transition into Ashley’s extended care program or step down into outpatient care afterward. Research consistently shows that longer treatment duration is associated with better long-term outcomes, and Ashley’s team builds a plan that reflects what each patient actually needs rather than what a minimum coverage window allows.
Can I work or maintain family responsibilities while in treatment?
Inpatient treatment requires a full residential commitment, which means stepping away from work and daily responsibilities for the duration of the program. Patients who cannot make that commitment may be better suited for outpatient care, which is structured around mornings or evenings to allow continued employment and family involvement. The admissions team can help determine which format fits your situation.
What happens if I have a co-occurring mental health condition?
Ashley’s clinical staff includes psychiatrists and licensed mental health professionals who treat co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD alongside substance use disorder. Treating both conditions simultaneously, rather than sequentially, produces stronger outcomes and is standard practice at Ashley.
Is Ashley Addiction Treatment affiliated with a 12-step program?
Ashley incorporates 12-step philosophy into its programming but is not exclusively a 12-step program. Treatment draws from multiple evidence-based approaches, and patients are not required to follow a single recovery model. The goal is to find what works for the individual and build a recovery plan around that.
