About Guildhaus

Addiction Treatment Programs at Guildhaus

Individuals begin with an assessment for the 90-day long-term residential halfway house. Clients then follow a fixed daily routine in a sober, supervised setting. After completing the halfway house program, residents may transition into the recovery home for ongoing support and community reintegration.

Clients can expect multiple counseling and group sessions alongside intensive case management and peer/self-help supports. Guildhaus incorporates evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, along with 12-Step fellowship participation, relapse prevention and groups such as anger management, crisis intervention and emotional sobriety.

Dual diagnosis screening is available, but Guildhaus is not a detox center and requires clients to be alcohol-free upon arrival.
