About Burkwood Treatment Center

They use a range of evidence-based therapies, psychiatric interventions, and peer groups to address addiction and its root causes. Their levels of care include residential and intensive outpatient (IOP) with day and evening sessions, plus access to sober living.

They have a 1:8 counselor-to-client ratio and provide 1:1 counseling at least once a week. Clients also participate in various group sessions, including process groups, skills groups, activity groups (trips to a nearby State Park, men's and women’s yoga), guided imagery, and psychodrama.

They also use their Way of Life system, which further combines the 12 Steps and other evidence-based therapies uniquely for clients of Burkwood Treatment Center. Way of Life draws on the 12 Steps, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and more to provide step-by-step guidance throughout treatment.
