What Happens During Alcohol Treatment at Longleaf?
When a client begins treatment at Longleaf, they are first assessed by a masters-level clinician and by our medical staff. These assessments allow us to create an individualized treatment plan and make recommendations for a level of care. For clients needing the most structure and support, they begin in our full-day or partial-hospitalization level of care. They will attend services Monday-Friday, including group therapy, individual therapy, and follow-up appointments with our medical staff. Depending upon individual needs, we also have options for half-days and evening treatment.
