How We Do It

The fundamental principle underlying our therapeutic efforts is the concern for the individual's recovery. This process involves the individual's abstinence from all mind-altering substances, his/her psychological and spiritual growth, and the healing of intra-family conflict in addition to developing caring and fulfilling relationships.

The strength of our program lies in the integrity, dedication, and competence of our staff. Our focus is to provide effective treatment which combines our main modality of structured group counseling with individualized psychological therapy where appropriate. We are prepared to deliver what we set forth as our treatment policies in a setting that fosters dignity and respectfulness. We attempt to assess the needs of each client and provide a flexible treatment approach that meets that individual's problems. In doing so, we are mindful of our therapeutic limitations and will readily refer people to more appropriate settings where their particular needs will be more suitably addressed. In doing so, we operate as a team, with consultation with the client and any referral sources or managed care companies.

The staff at KPC developed and pioneered the intensive outpatient model of substance abuse/dependency treatment in 1982 and continue to be a leader in the field. We have integrated it with an individual psychological approach in recognition of the frequency with which psychological and psychiatric conditions accompany addictions. These significant emotional difficulties often need to be addressed if long-term recovery is to be effective. We support the need to utilize medications where appropriate provided it is under psychiatric supervision.

KPC has been and continues to be a leader in providing various MAT therapies to help our patients bridge the gap from active use to sustained recovery.   

A vital part of our efforts is directed to family or significant other involvement in the treatment process. This involvement combines an assessment, education, and group interaction experience to help family members, spouses, and significant others understand and cope with the effects of addictions on the client and themselves.
