COUNSELING

“Relapse” does not need to be a part of recovery. Sage Prairie uses evidence based counseling models, including cognitive behavioral care, motivational interviewing, mental health groups, and professionally led peer groups. Using these techniques, and continually assessing length of treatment stay, most patients are engaged in some level of service (either at Sage Prairie or referred from an outside entity) for 8-10 months; patients step down in intensity gradually based on individual patient needs, while respecting individual autonomy.
