Substance use recovery services are professional programs designed to help individuals overcome addiction to alcohol, drugs, or other substances. At Gentle Force Counseling, our substance use recovery services include outpatient counseling, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral therapy, peer support, and aftercare planning, all tailored to support long-term sobriety and wellness.
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a recognized medical condition that affects millions of Americans each year. Whether you are dealing with opioid use disorder (OUD), alcohol use disorder (AUD), or dependence on stimulants or benzodiazepines, recovery is possible with the right support. Our evidence-based addiction treatment programs are designed around your unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
According to SAMHSA, effective substance use recovery services combine clinical treatment with peer support and community resources. That is exactly the model we follow at Gentle Force Counseling, updated in 2026 to reflect the latest best practices in behavioral health recovery.
Our substance use recovery services address a wide range of substance use disorders, including:

A core part of our substance use recovery is learning and utilizing coping skills that replace old patterns. Here are some evidence-based strategies we work on together:
Watching someone you love struggle with substance use is painful and overwhelming. Our substance use recovery services at Gentle Force Counseling are designed to support not just the individual, but the entire family system. We offer family therapy as part of our drug and alcohol recovery programs to help loved ones rebuild trust, improve communication, and heal together.
If you are not sure where to begin, our team can walk you through the process step by step. You can also explore our full range of counseling services or learn more about our approach to compassionate, client-centered care. For crisis situations involving opioids, please ensure your family has access to naloxone (Narcan), which can reverse an overdose, ask our team how to obtain it.
Recovery support services, including peer support specialists and community resources, are also available to clients and their families throughout and after treatment. We are committed to walking with you every step of the way in 2026 and beyond.
Gentle Force Counseling offers a continuum of substance use recovery services to meet you wherever you are in your recovery journey. Our programs are designed to step up or down in intensity based on your clinical needs.
For individuals who need 24/7 medical supervision, we can coordinate inpatient detox services and residential treatment referrals. Safe detoxification (detox) is often the critical first step before beginning outpatient addiction recovery.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured addiction rehabilitation service that meets multiple times per week. It is ideal for those stepping down from inpatient care or those who need more support than standard weekly therapy. This program includes individual counseling, group therapy, and relapse prevention planning.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Our MAT program helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms so clients can focus on building a healthy, substance-free life.
We offer telehealth addiction services for clients who prefer to attend sessions remotely or have difficulty accessing in-person care. Virtual substance use counseling is just as effective as in-person care for many individuals and removes barriers to treatment.
We approach substance use treatment with compassion and respect, understanding that each person's experience is unique. Our multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals utilizes evidence-based practices to guide clients through their recovery process.
Our IOP is designed for individuals who require a higher level of care while still maintaining the flexibility to live at home and continue with daily responsibilities. This structured program includes:
Our licensed therapists offer one-on-one counseling tailored to identify the underlying causes of addiction, build coping mechanisms, and address any co-occurring mental health issues.
Group therapy sessions foster a sense of community, allowing participants to share their stories, challenges, and victories in a supportive environment guided by professional facilitators.
We focus on equipping clients with practical tools and strategies to prevent relapse, identifying triggers and developing customized plans that encourage ongoing success in recovery.
Transitioning back to daily life can be challenging. Our aftercare programs provide continued support, including resources, support groups, and follow-up counseling sessions to ensure clients remain connected and engaged in their recovery.

Book an AppointmentThe substances most associated with difficult withdrawal and high relapse rates include heroin and opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, nicotine, and methamphetamine. Each of these requires specialized substance use recovery services and should not be stopped abruptly without medical guidance. If you are struggling with any of these, please contact us, safe, effective treatment is available.
Start by educating yourself about substance use disorder (SUD) so you can approach the conversation with compassion rather than judgment. Encourage your loved one to seek professional addiction recovery services and offer to help them make the call or attend an appointment. Family therapy through our program can also help repair relationships and set healthy boundaries. In an emergency, call 911 or reach out about naloxone (Narcan) access for opioid overdose situations.
Inpatient treatment means staying at a facility around the clock for intensive medical and therapeutic support, which is best for severe addiction or detox. Outpatient addiction recovery, including our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), allows you to live at home while attending scheduled treatment sessions. Our team will help you determine which level of care is right for your situation.
Most major insurance plans are required by federal law to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as other medical care. We encourage you to contact our office so we can help you verify your benefits and explore any available financial assistance options. We believe cost should never be a barrier to getting the help you need.
