About The Ridge
Clients begin their recovery process with a biopsychosocial assessment, physical evaluation, and addiction assessment. The Ridge then provides medically supervised detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed. Their staff includes 2 addictionologists: a psychiatrist and medical doctor. The Ridge’s specialty therapists and counselors facilitate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing techniques, and case management. After residential treatment, clients can attend a 52-week aftercare program with weekly day or night group therapy—always led by a masters-level clinician.
The Ridge prioritizes comprehensive dual-diagnosis treatment. They include family and loved ones in the process, inviting them on site for educational lectures, therapy, and support groups. The Ridge treats mental health as it occurs with addiction, including disorders like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder.
The Ridge offers multiple wellness therapies for whole-person care. Clients can enjoy acupuncture, 1.5 hours of indoor or outdoor fitness each day, music therapy, and yoga. Clients can also play volleyball, basketball, pickleball, and more at The Ridge. The Ridge also has a pool, sauna, walking trails, and a fully-stocked pond for fishing. Their chef creates 3 meals a day, catered to clients’ individual needs and preferences. After residential or outpatient treatment, The Ridge gives each client 12 months of aftercare, which includes weekly group therapy, alumni gatherings with guest speakers, and activities.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Ridge provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options
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.
The Ridge 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 9 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.
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. The Ridge works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
