Treatment Works
Kenneth Peters Center for Recovery believes treatment works and that most people can recover from addiction without hospitalization, using a holistic, reality based approach that fits into everyday life. The team focuses on the psychological and spiritual wellbeing of clients and their families, and decades of annual state surveys show about 95% of patients are highly satisfied with the quality of care and consistently rate the program five stars.
KPC’s three-phase approach gives people a clear, stepwise path from early recovery to long-term stability. Treatment starts with a highly supportive intensive outpatient phase, then gradually steps down in frequency and intensity as clients gain skills, confidence, and independence, helping them stay engaged in work, school, and family life while building a strong foundation for lasting sobriety.
Evidence Based Care
KPC uses evidence-based, research-supported treatments for substance use disorders, combining medication (when appropriate) with proven behavioral therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family interventions, motivational approaches, education, relapse prevention, and 12-step integration. This integrated model is tailored to each patient through a comprehensive assessment to ensure the right level of care and services.
​
CBT is the primary therapeutic model at KPC, helping patients build new coping skills, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and reduce substance use while improving other areas of life. Medications and therapy work together to enhance outcomes, and patients are encouraged to engage in self-help communities to support long-term recovery.
