Heritage Counseling Clinic’s therapeutic programs are based on models of change, reality therapy, behavior changes, and considering total abstinence as the fundamental requirement for recovery. Heritage follows the cognitive behavioral model, combining traditional and holistic therapies to create a comprehensive approach that’s tailored to each client.
Heritage recognizes the innate need for family involvement throughout the recovery process. They created a family program to satisfy that need, prioritizing a rebuilding of trust, independence, and a regeneration of healthy communication and boundaries. Both sides benefit from their family program, whether people are supporting a loved one through recovery or working through it themselves.

A once in a lifetime experience - the tools and skills I gained at Heritage Clinic is one of the greatest gifts I so far received. During my stay I discovered and learned more about myself in a matter of months, something which, with other professional help previously, I wasn’t able to achieve for decades. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and professional. And the program works if you want it to work. I therefore cannot recommend the Heritage Clinic more highly.
