Starlite Recovery Center provides answers to common questions from clients and potential clients seeking addiction treatment.
Who do you treat?
At Starlite, we treat both men and women ages 18 and older.
How do we address the needs of the individual?
We treat clients on an emotional (therapy), spiritual (12-Steps and Journey Track), physical (ROPES, gym, person trainer availability, and swimming), and cultural level (LGBTQIA, Journey Track, and professional groups) through individualized treatment planning.
What kind of discharge planning do you all do?
The developing of the client’s individualized discharge plan starts the day the client admits. Our discharge plans are for 1 year and their main objective is to help facilitate long-term recovery. Each discharge plan will have goals and objectives for the client to work towards. The counselor will help the client set up appointments with IOP, individual therapy, meeting places and times in the area the client is discharging to, and we follow up with the client for one year after discharge.
What does the family weekend consist of? Will the family meet with the therapist?
Families have the option to meet the therapist on Fridays and will need to be set up in advanced by appointment. There is also the option to do a family session by video with the counselor and the client.
Family Weekend starts on Fridays. Friday consists of educating the family about the disease of addiction and alcoholism. On Saturdays, the client and family get an introduction to Al-Anon and deeper education on the disease.

These sessions will last one hour.
