Individual and Group Therapy
CASA embraces a variety of therapies. The counselor and the patient decide the therapeutic interventions that work for the most successful course of treatment.
Certified Recovery Peer Support
A Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) is a person who has experienced both addiction and recovery and as a member of the team can provide mentorship, coaching, and accountability to patients. A bilingual CPS will often be incorporated in treatment through your waiting area experience, groups, and case consultations. They are often available via phone after regular working hours.

Spiritual Care
Your spiritual well-being is always taken into consideration within the holistic care we provide at CASA. According to the National Institute of Health, individuals recovering from addictions frequently cite spirituality as a helpful influence. Our belief in Jesus Christ guides everything we do and makes us even more committed to people of all diverse backgrounds, regardless of their beliefs. We are committed to be a peaceful, prayerful and listening presence that seeks to demonstrate the love of God to all of His creation.

Experiential Learning and Recreational Therapy
Experiential learning is the process of learning by doing. By engaging participants in hands-on experiences and reflection, they are better able to connect concepts and knowledge learned in group therapy to real world situations. Recreational therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses recreational activities to enrich the psychological and physical well-being of individuals recovering from illnesses. Experiential and recreational modalities have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety and help build confidence as productive members of society. CASA uses group therapy settings to launch participants into different activities that promote clean and sober lifestyles.
