Individual and group therapy sessions form the foundation of our treatment programs. Our licensed therapists work with you to explore the root causes of addiction, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build the emotional resilience needed for lasting sobriety.
Many people struggling with addiction have experienced trauma that contributes to their substance use. Our trauma-informed therapists use specialized techniques to help you process painful experiences safely and break the cycle of using substances to cope.

I'll make this as concise as possible. There are times in ones' life when things are not ideal. Regardless of what coping mechanisms we may have things can get out of control before we know it. I for one, am one of those people. I experienced (what I felt like) near catastrophic life changing events in 2024 and it led me down a dark and lonely path. I turned to the only thing that was consistent in my life...alcohol. Substance Use Disorder does not discriminate. It doesn't care about our educational level, our social caste, our health, our past experiences. It's an insidious disease. And being someone who is in the medical profession, I will attest to the fact that it is indeed, a disease. There is a stigma that comes with SUD. It doesn't mean we're weak, it doesn't mean we are insignificant... it means we have fallible coping skills that can lead us on a treacherous road. There is nothing wrong asking for help. In fact, I honestly believe you're a stronger person if you do ask for help. I came to AFRS in October of 2024. I was treated kindly not only by my peers, but by staff as well. There are incredible people who work here who want to truly help you. It can sometimes be difficult for friends and family to understand our struggles. Hence, it is truly invigorating to be around like-minded people who understand you and have similar experiences . It may seem scary at first, but once you take the step to get help for any type of treatment, it can be life changing. I look forward to the next chapters in my life and being here at AFRS equipped me with more 'tools' to deal with life on life's terms. Thank you all there at AFRS for all the support and I am grateful to all the people I have met here. If you're on the fence about receiving treatment... don't! It may not be easy, but it will definitely be worth it.

Making the decision to seek addiction treatment often comes with many questions. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about our programs, services, and what you can expect during the recovery process.
We provide treatment for a wide variety of substance use disorders, including alcohol addiction, opioid dependence, prescription drug abuse, methamphetamine addiction, and other illicit drug use. Our comprehensive programs are tailored to address the specific challenges associated with each substance.
Signs that professional treatment may be needed include unsuccessful attempts to stop using on your own, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, continued use despite negative consequences, and substance use interfering with work, relationships, or daily responsibilities. Our team can help assess your situation during a confidential consultation.
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions at the same time. This integrated approach is important because untreated mental health issues often contribute to relapse, and treating both conditions together leads to better long-term outcomes.
We accept most major insurance plans for our treatment programs. The best way to verify your specific coverage and understand your benefits is to contact our admissions team directly, and we’ll help you navigate the insurance process.
During intake, you’ll meet with our clinical team for a comprehensive assessment of your substance use history, mental health, medical needs, and personal circumstances. This evaluation helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific situation and goals.
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, severity of addiction, and progress throughout the program. Our team will work with you to determine the appropriate length of treatment and make adjustments as needed to support your recovery.
