Because so many factors contribute to addiction and recovery, it is impossible to create one standard form of addiction treatment. RAW’s treatment services operate from some basic principles for providing effective care for each client (see more here):

• Addiction is a biological, psychological, and social disorder; therefore,
• – Physical, mental, and social needs must be addressed together.
• – Treatment must be individualized.
• – Diversifying therapy options increases positive treatment and recovery outcomes.
• – Medications are vital tools; they must be used as clinically appropriate and managed well.
• – Substance use must be monitored responsibly.
• – Health concerns that are outside of our scope of care must be identified and referred out.
• – Families can recover together.
• – Positive change is always possible with the right care and motivation.
