Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

- Holistic Treatment Engagement Modelmethodology: holistic treatment approachBy addressing both substance abuse and broader life challenges through comprehensive services, the organization supports long-term recovery, because treating social determinants alongside addiction improves retention and reduces relapse.
