About The Well

The center helps people facing mental health challenges, substance use disorders (SUD), and life crises. They offer 24/7 crisis response, outpatient services, supportive housing, and residential treatment programs, including special care for women, parents, and those with co-occurring disorders. Their team provides immediate support and long-term care, helping clients heal, rebuild their lives, and stay connected to their communities.
The Well’s care uses proven therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and child-parent psychotherapy. They also offer holistic care with parenting support, life skills classes, and peer recovery groups. Programs include individual, group, and family counseling, medication management, and wellness education, all tailored to each person’s goals, identity, and stage of recovery.
Clients live in safe, welcoming spaces with private or shared rooms, kitchen access, and nearby childcare. Residents can join recovery groups, wellness activities, and outdoor spaces for rest and reflection. Those in supportive housing hold their own leases and can choose roommates. The Well also helps with transportation needs, making sure everyone can focus on their healing journey.

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 Well 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 Well 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 Well works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
