Q. What is La Paloma's Program?
A. La Paloma Treatment Center provides integrated treatment to persons with addictions and/or mental health conditions. Our treatment program is founded on The Foundations Treatment Model, which utilizes Motivational Interviewing methods and philosophies and recognizes Stages of Change in the recovery process. Through this model, our specially trained staff members address the complex needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders.
Both our Residential and Outpatient treatment options provide an introduction to 12-step principles, daily group and individual therapy and life skills. La Paloma also offers comprehensive, medically supervised detoxification services and individualized integrated services.
By balancing physical, intellectual, medical, nutritional, spiritual and emotional well-being, each client has the opportunity for true self-awareness through their process of recovery. This self-awareness allows them to see themselves and their relationships from a new and clear perspective. Through the integrity of taking responsibility for personal choices, client learns to free themselves from the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that have underserved the person in the past.

Q. What about the staff?
A. We have a well-trained staff of professionals fulfilling a variety of tasks. Our treatment team consists of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed therapists, clinical directors and our fantastic executive chef.
Q. I've had treatment before and it didn't do any good. What will be different this time?
A. Many people who have come to La Paloma have been through multiple treatment programs. We strongly believe that it is not the person who fails a treatment program, but that the past treatment programs have not been appropriate or suitable for the person.
Success also depends on the client's willingness to be well and to take responsibility for his or her own recovery with compassionate and appropriate support.
For clients who have had multiple prior treatment episodes, longer lengths of stay generally prove to be helpful.

A. Before you come to La Paloma we will provide you with a packing list specifically outlining what you should bring and what you should leave at home.
Remember that while you may be living here, laundry can be done regularly; therefore, we ask that you pack clothing for at least seven days.
Additional house and personal items will be covered in the packing list. Certain items such as music and books may be brought but will first need approval by your therapist. Expensive electronic equipment and other valuables are discouraged.
Q. How long will I stay in the program?
A. Treatment at La Paloma is personalized. You will work closely with a treatment team to build a plan of care that is appropriate, and the length of your stay will be based on your unique needs.

Q. Will my insurance cover the cost of my treatment?
A. La Paloma does accept insurance reimbursement through most major carriers, however, insurance rarely covers the entire cost of treatment. As a courtesy to you, we will contact your insurance company to determine your available benefits and the associated out of pocket costs. We will advocate for you to receive as much insurance reimbursement as your benefit and authorization permits, however, please remember that our professional relationship is with you and not with your insurance company. Additional associated costs will be your responsibility and we kindly request that payment arrangements be confirmed prior to admission.
