Patients receive gender-specific therapies including individual counseling, group sessions, and experiential therapy while residing in our 30-acre facility. The program emphasizes personalized treatment plans, medication management, and specialized tracks for Native American, military, and chronic pain patients. Length of stay is determined individually to ensure comprehensive recovery.
Detoxification Services
Keystone's medically monitored detox program safely manages withdrawal symptoms for 3-7 days under 24/7 nursing supervision. Doctors prescribe non-addictive medications to alleviate discomfort while preparing patients for subsequent treatment phases. The program addresses opioid, methamphetamine, alcohol, and other substance dependencies, incorporating medication management and transition planning to subsequent rehabilitation programs. Detox is integrated with ongoing therapeutic interventions.

Certified Native American counselors provide language support and spiritual guidance while addressing addiction through both 12-step principles and indigenous healing practices. The program respects tribal diversity while offering personalized cultural interventions as part of comprehensive addiction treatment.
