Start Your Journey to Recovery

At Action Family Counseling, we don’t just help you break free from addiction, we provide you with the tools to build a life of purpose and freedom. Contact us today to learn more about our Residential Treatment Program and take the first step toward lasting recovery.

The Action Family Counseling Admission Process

At Action Family Counseling, we know that taking the first step toward recovery can feel overwhelming. That’s why our admission process is designed to provide a welcoming, supportive, and compassionate start to your journey. From the moment you or your loved one arrives, our dedicated team works to ensure that every client feels seen, heard, and valued.

Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment

The journey begins with a comprehensive assessment by our experienced clinical Treatment Team. This crucial step allows us to craft a personalized treatment program tailored to the unique needs of each client. While we recognize that every individual has their own story, we also understand the common challenges faced by those struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders, regardless of differences such as ethnicity, social status, or substance of choice.

Our goal is to equip you or your loved one with the tools to manage the disease of addiction effectively, leading to a life of health, happiness, and sobriety.

Step 2: ASAM Criteria: Finding the Right Level of Care

Each Action Family Counseling treatment location offers a unique atmosphere and specializes in different types of care. Our treatment programs are classified according to their ASAM Level of Care, ensuring that every client is placed in the most appropriate setting for their recovery needs.

The ASAM Criteria, established by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, is the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines for determining the best care for individuals with addiction and co-occurring conditions. These guidelines help clinicians determine the right level of care for placement, continued stay, or discharge.

To learn more about the ASAM Criteria or to determine which level of care is the right fit for you or your loved one, visit the ASAM website or contact our team today.

Step 3: Warm Welcome Group

We understand that stepping into a new environment can be intimidating. That’s why we’ve created our Welcome Group, a gentle introduction to the group treatment process.

Upon admission, you or your loved one will meet peers and Treatment Team members in a supportive group setting designed to ease any initial apprehension. This informal and friendly gathering helps clients build connections, break the ice, and begin forming the supportive relationships that are key to recovery.

Step 4: First Group Session

The first group session builds on the foundation set during the Welcome Group. It introduces the philosophies and principles of recovery that we emphasize at Action Family Counseling. This session focuses on the broad aspects of addiction and begins teaching the strategies necessary to maintain a healthy, substance-free lifestyle.

We believe strongly in the power of the group setting, knowing that recovery is not something anyone should face alone. Tackling drug or alcohol addiction in isolation can feel impossible—and even dangerous. Our group-focused approach fosters connection, accountability, and shared strength, helping clients develop the skills and support systems they need for long-term recovery.

Why Choose Action Family Counseling?

Personalized treatment plans based on a comprehensive assessment and ASAM criteria.
Licensed clinicians and compassionate team members who prioritize client success.
Group treatment as a foundation for connection and accountability.
A supportive, welcoming environment for every stage of recovery.

Assimilation Into Action's Program

Assimilation Into Action Family Counseling’s Residential Program

At Action Family Counseling, we understand that the journey to recovery begins with the right foundation. Upon admission to our residential treatment program, you or your loved one will undergo a comprehensive assessment by our experienced clinical Treatment Team. This is the first step in crafting a personalized treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of each individual.

While every person’s journey is different, we recognize the shared challenges faced by those struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders, regardless of differences in ethnicity, social status, or substance of choice. Our mission is to equip each client with the tools to manage the disease of addiction, enabling them to build a healthy, happy, and sober life.

Step 1: A Warm Welcome to the Action Community

The admission process continues with a Welcome Group, designed to make the transition into treatment as comfortable as possible. We know that stepping into a new environment can be daunting, and our goal is to ease those initial fears.

The Welcome Group provides an opportunity to meet peers and Treatment Team members in a supportive and non-intimidating setting. This simple yet effective introduction helps clients feel less alone, build initial connections, and begin acclimating to the group treatment experience.

Step 2: The Importance of the Group Setting

At Action Family Counseling, we emphasize the power of the group setting in fostering connection and accountability. Tackling drug and alcohol addiction alone is not only challenging but can also be dangerous. Group treatment creates a supportive environment where clients can share experiences, learn from others, and build a strong sense of community.

After the Welcome Group, clients will join their first Group Session, which introduces the foundational philosophies and principles of recovery. This session focuses on:

Understanding the broad aspects of addiction.
Learning the tools and strategies needed for a substance-free lifestyle.
Building a roadmap for sustained recovery and a healthy life after prolonged substance use.

Why Action Family Counseling?

Personalized Care: Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s unique needs and goals.
Compassionate Support: A warm, welcoming approach helps clients feel at ease from day one.
Group Treatment Focus: Promotes shared strength, accountability, and connection.
Proven Philosophy: Our evidence-based methods empower clients to overcome addiction and thrive in recovery.

Take the First Step Toward Recovery

At Action Family Counseling, we’re here to guide you or your loved one every step of the way. From the moment you arrive, you’ll find a supportive environment where recovery becomes possible.

12-Step Emphasis

Action Family Counseling’s 12-Step Emphasis Treatment Approach

At Action Family Counseling, we integrate the time-tested principles of the 12-Step Program into our comprehensive addiction recovery framework. The 12 Steps, widely recognized as a cornerstone in recovery, provide a structured, spiritual, and practical approach to overcoming substance use disorders. This emphasis on the 12-Step philosophy ensures clients build a strong foundation for long-term sobriety while addressing the emotional and psychological challenges of addiction.

Why the 12-Step Approach Works

The 12 Steps have been the foundation of countless recovery journeys, providing a roadmap for healing that focuses on:

By incorporating these principles into our programs, we empower clients to embrace responsibility, develop coping mechanisms, and strengthen their recovery mindset.

How We Integrate the 12-Step Program

Clients are introduced to the steps progressively, with support from our experienced clinicians and peers. Each step builds on the previous one, creating a structured path toward recovery.
Group Support
Through 12-Step meetings and peer discussions, clients form meaningful connections with others on similar journeys. This sense of community fosters accountability, reduces isolation, and creates a network of support that extends beyond treatment.
Personalized Application
While the 12 Steps provide a universal framework, our team ensures that each client applies the principles in a way that aligns with their personal beliefs and life circumstances.
Spiritual and Emotional Healing
Addiction often impacts every aspect of life, including spiritual well-being. The 12-Step Program encourages clients to explore their inner strength, forgiveness, and resilience, allowing for a more holistic recovery.
