It offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor amenities to encourage physical activity and mental clarity to heal the mind, body and spirit.
When you call the IAFF Center of Excellence, you’ll undergo a free and confidential screening process over the phone. During the screening, we’ll ask questions about your substance use, as well as your psychiatric, medical, social and legal history. We will also discuss insurance and payment for treatment. Upon admission, the screening process will continue. Within your first 24 hours of arrival, you’ll also meet with your primary care physician and therapist, undergo a medical exam and discuss goals for your treatment.

During your treatment, you’ll form relationships with doctors, nurses and other clinicians who will help you on your way to recovery. Clients are recommended for the appropriate levels of care based on their individual needs, ranging from medically monitored detox, inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient treatment.
