Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
It is important to recognize that addiction is a disease, not a moral failing. When addiction takes over and dependency alters a persons brain chemistry, ones ability to exert self-control can become seriously impaired. CAT offers patients specialized treatment of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and problem gambling to make recovery within reach.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
While its true that dependency and addiction often go hand-in-hand, proper assessment and diagnostic impressions are crucial to determine the severity of ones condition. CAT uses a multi-disciplinary team to assess and create an individualized treatment plan.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
In addition to Inpatient Detox & Residential Treatment, CAT also offers a wide range of Outpatient Services designed to meet the needs of those who struggle with the disease of addiction and their loved ones. Our Outpatient programs provide patients with a variety of evidence-based recovery, mental health, and family support options.
