PROGRAMS Overview

Avery Lane offers multiple levels of care and long-term lengths of stay to accommodate each individual client and their needs.

INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN FOR LENGTH OF STAY:

Since Avery Lane is a true individualized program, we assess and reassess each client to determine the length of stay required to determine the correct level of care and length of stay they need to ensure they are receiving the support they need for maximum benefit. There is no “quick fix” for treatment and because we are going in-depth to underlying core issues, many of our clients require longer term treatment. Our team works with the individual and their family to determine a plan for their care at Avery Lane.

The majority of our clients will initially commit to 30, 60, or 90 days, and through the process we will work together as a team with the client to determine what is required to fully stabilize and build a foundation for lasting recovery. The average length of stay in our Residential Program is 60 days.

BEYOND THE 30-DAY PROGRAM:

While the foundation of treatment is a 30-day program, we, as do many treatment professionals, acknowledge the considerable research* that shows a direct relationship between the length of stay in treatment and the rate of sobriety one-year after treatment.

Clients desiring and/or requiring additional time in treatment may be recommended to stay on with us for an additional 30 or 60 day to continue addressing underlying core issues, practice newly learned healthy coping skills and tools, and continue medical stabilization and medication adjustments. Within each time extension, more is offered within our program to facilitate continued growth and strength in early recovery.

30, 45, 60, 75, and 90-day Residential Program options

Step-down Partial Hospitalization Outpatient program

Step-down Intensive Outpatient program

Transitional living for our outpatient clients

Prior to admission or transition to any level of care, each client will participate in a pre-intake assessment with an admissions counselor to determine level of care recommendation. If you’d like to speak with an admissions counselor to discuss admission and level of care options, contact us.

Nicole Collins,
AMFT, Primary Therapist

passion in the body-mind-spirit connection and the Intelligence of the Self-healing power, she

depression, the things that push against your joy, calm, serenity, and sense of security, are
powerful and baffling. Still, there is something unique inside of you that is ready to push back
against it all. The fear, anxiety, depression, and trauma that press against your head and chest
are real, but they should not define you. She feels her role is to help you find the resources
within to overcome the challenges and suffering that life may bring. She specializes in trauma,
substance abuse, LGBTQIA+ community, matters of belonging, helping individuals heal in their
relationships within themselves. In your work together, she will meet you where you are and
support you in reacquainting you, with all parts of yourself, including your inherent wisdom.
