Residential Treatment

Sustain Recovery is a treatment facility founded upon evidence-based clinical treatment modalities and best practice principles. We utilize a multifaceted process, integrating a balance of clinical interventions, 12 Step recovery and holistic modalities that provides adolescents a positive and loving environment where they can address their addiction and mental health needs. Our goal is to facilitate education, interpersonal awareness and behavioral change through continuity and proven recovery / mental health skill development or enhancement that supports learning and change.


Treatment Goals

Comprehensive Approach to Treatment

Within 24 hours upon admission, each adolescent is seen by the medical doctor and psychiatrist to determine medical and mental health needs. A qualified addiction and mental health specialist completes a comprehensive bio/social assessment from which an Individual Treatment Pan is developed based on information from referral documentation, the adolescent, family, medical doctor, psychiatrist, and bio/social assessment. This information is used to identify areas in need of support and treatment goals to address mental health and recovery needs. Work towards meeting goals is completed through individual and group sessions with progress monitored and documented daily.

OCTLC, Inc. dba Sustain Recovery operates its services / programming consistent with State and Federal regulations, licensing expectations and recognized recovery / mental health principles / practices / protocols.

A Family Program

Any treatment would be incomplete without the inclusion of the families who suffer alongside their addict/alcoholic. Often family members become very ill from the ravaging effects of their loved one’s addiction. Specifically, the excruciating and paralytic condition parents find themselves in can be addressed and families can and do heal while the addict/alcoholic is transitioning. Weekly family therapy is mandatory for all families and provided in person or via approved electronic methods by a Masters Level LMFT.

More Info

At Sustain Recovery, we have observed repeated cases in which the drastic change from short-term intensive inpatient treatment to unstructured sober living or immediately returning back home has resulted in relapse. This is especially true for adolescents with co-occurring disorders, due to the difficult process of adjusting to the home environment without the use of drugs or alcohol, staying away from negative influences, and the lack of internal structure. As we see it, the structure that was imposed on the individual in addiction treatment (the clinical schedule), cannot be sustained without ongoing attention to structure. We know that when a resident comes into an Extended Care Treatment environment, which initially provides the same degree of structure as treatment, the necessary healthy living skills can be (re)introduced and utilized in “real time”, in the real world, with the support and safety net of the Sustain Recovery staff and community.

Many times the adolescents going through this experience have dropped out of school, have legal issues secondary to their substance use, and are without a safe and sober environment to live. The need for a more structured Extended Care geared towards adolescents that focuses on adult living skills, education, involvement in Twelve Step organizations and fun in recovery, is what is at the core of Sustain Recovery. As our residents are introduced to the opportunities to do worthwhile and esteem-able tasks, they develop self-worth and self-esteem.

I first met Sayeh in November of 2013 just after my 15 year old daughter had been admitted to a residential treatment program. As part of the program I was required to attend 2-3 AlAnon meetings a week. Sayeh attended the same AlAnon meetings as well as Alumni events as I. It soon became apparent to me that Sayeh had a heart for recovery, program, and God. When I was encouraged to get a sponsor I didn’t hesitate. Dependable, respectful, kind and generous of spirit, she exudes an inner peace that I hope to achieve with her loving guidance, as I work my own program. She is patient, & full of wisdom that she is always happy to share with her sponsees and fellow parents. I am so grateful our journeys brought us together.
