Services
Power House is based on a therapeutic 12 Step Model. Research and experience indicate that the group milieu, participation in family therapy, individual therapy and 12 Step immersion is the treatment of choice for dealing with substance use disorders accompanied by co-occuring disorders. Each client is assessed on an individual basis, which correlates with the treatment process and length of stay.
