Admissions – Our enrollment process includes a pre-screen assessment, application and comprehensive family support to help participants and their families best understand the program and what they can expect from Confluence. In addition, our admissions team will assess and screen each applicant to determine if the level of care at Confluence is appropriate for the applicant's needs and treatment objectives.

Clinical Evaluation –  Each participant at Confluence undergoes a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment conducted by Confluence therapists and reviewed by the entire treatment team.  Assessments help create a clear understanding of strengths and challenges and inform treatment planning. 

Individual Therapy – Each participant at Confluence is paired with a primary therapist that best matches their clinical needs and with whom positive therapeutic alliance can be formed. Participants and their primary therapist meet for formal treatment sessions and see each other many times per week for check-ins and follow-ups on clinical assignments.

Group therapy sessions are topically-based and include groups on relationship patterns, attachments, substance use, group dynamics, family systems and more.
