Burkwood Treatment Center

Burkwood Treatment Center provides residential and outpatient care for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Set on 3 acres, they offer a private space to begin recovery. They use a range of evidence-based therapies, psychiatric interventions, and peer groups to address addiction and its root causes. Their levels of care include residential and intensive outpatient (IOP) with day and evening sessions, plus access to sober living.
Burkwood Treatment Center’s staff includes a psychiatrist, nurses, counselors, behavioral health technicians, and a dietician. All work collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans, starting with an initial pre-treatment evaluation. They have a 1:8 counselor-to-client ratio and provide 1:1 counseling at least once a week. Clients also participate in various group sessions, including process groups, skills groups, activity groups (trips to a nearby State Park, men's and women’s yoga), guided imagery, and psychodrama.
Burkwood Treatment Center uses the MAAEZ (Making Alcoholics Anonymous Easier) program, which blends traditional 12-Step practices and emerging evidence-based therapies. They also use their Way of Life system, which further combines the 12 Steps and other evidence-based therapies uniquely for clients of Burkwood Treatment Center. Way of Life draws on the 12 Steps, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and more to provide step-by-step guidance throughout treatment. Burkwood Treatment Center additionally offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to address co-occurring trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Burkwood Treatment Center treats co-occurring mental health conditions to help clients heal comprehensively. They treat anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. Burkwood Treatment Center’s intensive outpatient program has day and evening sessions for greater flexibility. Their day sessions occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1-4 pm. Evening sessions take place Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6-9 pm. Clients in IOP can live in Burkwood Treatment Center’s sober living homes or in their own home. After treatment, clients receive regular follow-ups attuned to their individualized discharge plan and have the option to transition into sober living. Burkwood Treatment Center is in the VA Community Care Network (CNN) and is served by Optum.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Burkwood Treatment Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 8 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
