Sometimes, 24-hour support is the most appropriate way to start recovering. Chestnut Health Systems offers a comfortable, supportive environment for those who need intensive treatment. Residential treatment allows each individual the opportunity to dedicate him or herself to recovery. Residential treatment can also provide respite from an environment that is not conducive to recovery.

Certified and licensed professionals provide high quality health care services in a modern and comfortable facility. The hallmark of Chestnut treatment is the unique blending of the best of psychological/behavioral chemical dependency treatment approaches with the demonstrated effectiveness of self-help programs. While in treatment with Chestnut, residents participate in individual, group and family counseling and receive intensive instruction in life skills such as decision making, stress management, assertiveness, coping styles, relapse prevention and chemical dependency education. In addition, residents and their families are expected to attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Al-anon or other self-help groups several times per week. Length of stay, as with all parts of the treatment plan, is individually determined and regularly reviewed during the course of treatment.
