THE INTER-CARE APPROACH

The INTER-CARE model focuses on long-term recovery and personal growth. Our therapeutic approach provides the motivation, support, experience and tools that give our patients the ability to take on life’s daily challenges.
INTER-CARE takes pride in providing a safe, caring environment that ensures dignity and confidentiality.

Treatment at INTER-CARE is highly individualized. During admission, each
patient receives a comprehensive assessment interview where a psychosocial
evaluation is completed. A plan is then designed from a menu of clinical
services appropriate to the respective level of care, as established by the American
Society of Addiction Medicine. Diagnostic and monitoring tools, including drug testing, may be used to ensure effective and favorable treatment outcomes.

Most importantly, at the heart of all of our programs is the family. INTER-CARE offers family education, support groups and counseling to facilitate the family’s participation in the recovery process.

INTER-CARE is guided by Nicholas R. Lessa, MA, LCSW, CASAC, the facility’s Chief Executive Officer, with a staff comprised of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, credentialed addiction specialists, and physician assistants. Our
multidisciplinary team has been trained in a variety of innovative treatment
approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Twelve-Step Philosophy and
Addiction Medicine.
