The Program is Affordable

Most residential treatment centers are very expensive and long-term stays are typically not covered by insurance. Synergy is a non-profit agency that was established to provide affordable treatment services to those with limited or no resources. Individuals work in exchange for room, board and treatment which helps reduce treatment costs. Program fees are partially funded by the client, through therapeutic work performed while in the program which is matched by grants and contracts that are secured by the agency on behalf of the client.

Treatment is Client Centered

Synergy provides clinical screening and assessment; psychiatric evaluation and medication management; and medical screening, assessment, and referral. Accurate assessment make certain that an individual’s unique needs are met by matching them for services and placement.

Long Term Treatment Works

Research clearly shows that the longer the treatment for chronic relapsers, the better the chances of lifetime sobriety. Synergy’s program gives individuals extended time to heal by helping them understand the disease of addiction, practice a relapse prevention plan, work through underlying emotional issues, and develop a work-ethic and the tools needed to transform their lives, all within a structured, nurturing, confidential environment.

The thing that helped me the most was the work. A job that gave me time to reflect on my life, which way I was going, and what I wanted to do with it. – 38 year old male client

Synergy is an intense program which requires a high level of motivation and resilience in order to complete. A client must be open-minded, honest, and willing to undergo the clinical and work therapy program. Also, they must commit to a long-term stay away from their families and earn increased privileges as they progress through the program.

Synergy graduates regain a sense of hope, personal and social responsibility, and accountability. These values help them maintain long-term recovery, and become productive citizens in their communities.
