Our integrative approach utilizes evidence-based methods to treat every part of the individual. Residents of the program address the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their healing journey. People coming off of psychiatric medication need special considerations not found in a "drug rehab."
You are likely well aware that getting yanked off of medications would be a disaster. Surprisingly, most help professionals seem to be largely unaware of this. After 15 years of focusing on the worst of the worst cases, we have become world experts. Intravenous Therapy is a great way to get a concentrated effect on the physiology.

We believe that by and large, people are over-medicated and assigned a mental diagnosis that conveys a belief that something is permanently wrong with them. To our mind, there is a lot more involved in mental health and addiction treatment. It's become apparent that medical issues, hormonal factors, nutritional choices, genetics and psychosocial dynamics are majority components in one's mental health.

These people obviously are more interested in participation of genocide than actually healing people. I called to ask questions about the facilities before considering admission and no one was answering. Finally someone called back after six phone calls and they said they charge $65,000 for 2 months!!!! That's more than what the average person makes in a year. If anyone has the time, report these people to authorities for such a scam.

In a particularly critical point of our daughter’s addiction, when she felt she had little desire to get better, had little or no self worth, and had little to live for the ATMC personnel, Krystal and Dr Libby were there for our daughter and for us, and in our opinion, saved her life to which we are ever so grateful.
Krystal, Dr Libby and the entire staff went above and beyond what was necessary to get our daughter the help she needed to focus on herself, to overcome all obstacles, and re-establish her self worth. They provided therapy, consultation, healthy diet, supplements, and the road map

Without exception, Alternative To Meds saved my life...! My family went through a 4 to 5 year journey to discover an accurate diagnosis for a successful path for recovery to no avail. That is...until we found and I attended ATMC. The staff and team went above and beyond the call of duty to determine and carefully treat me for toxic body burden, which was causing me severely anxiety, depression, insomnia, memory loss, etc. I have a new lease on life and would recommend ATMC for anyone who wants the full attention and expertise of a medical team, alongside proven alternative approaches to health

Our son had been to seven previous programs, but Alternative to Meds is the program that made the major difference for him. Not only was he able to get off if a toxic combination of meds that was putting him on an intolerable roller coaster, but being on a healthy diet with exercise allowed him to stabilize in a way that he has not been able to for years. The kindness and compassion of staff, plus the social opportunities with other residents, allowed him to build confidence and a more positive self-image. We feel like we have our son back.

I had the honor of interning here as a medical student for 3 weeks. Suffice to say, this is world class mental health facility. The level of care and compassion provided by the staff spreads to each resident and there is a constantly evolving community supporting growth and love. The medical team is managed by a psychiatrist to titrate the pharmaceutical tapers and a naturopath who provides supplements to mitigate symptoms. The food provided is delicious and nutritious. The centerpiece of the program involves up to 2 hours 5 days a week in a sauna to help detoxify the body and there are multiple

I spent three months at ATMC and am so grateful to Lyle and his entire staff for helping me choose to reclaim my health. When I arrived, I was on a cocktail of medications. The center helped me detoxify and find healthy alternatives to deal with the root causes of my illness. All other treatment facilities I've stated at treated the symptoms of my pain; ATMC, gave me the tools to learn from and resolve the pain. I am forever grateful to the Center for helping me live a fulfilled, purposeful life.

It was a really great and successful experience at ATMC. I had serious difficulty with insomnia and they were able to treat the issue by cleaning the system and introducing supplements that greatly aided with sleep. I was very much not interested in using meds to do this as they had not worked well at all for me so their approach was something that I greatly appreciated. I will continually be grateful for their approach and benefits that it provided me at a difficult time.

Going to ATMC was one of the best decisions I ever made. The staff are incredibly helpful and supportive. Their always positive attitude makes having a positive approach to healing seems within reach. The program at ATMC is all about detoxing, part of that detox is limited time on social media, cell phones and TV news. The diet was very different than what I normally ate, no gluten, no sugar, no dairy, so it took some time to adjust to the changes. Taking supplements was a game changer for me. They helped calm my overactive mind and helped with digestive issues that I had my whole life. I would

I came to ATMC with a lot of ruminating thoughts as well as anxiety and insomnia. I didn’t want to go onto medication hence why I came here. It was a hard journey and I had to learn to change but the staff are phenomenal and I saw a lot of residents improve in such a short time. I as well have improved immensely and now have so many tools to heal even more once I arrive home. I would recommend this if you are looking to detox off of drugs or medication or if you don’t want to go into drugs to begin with.
