What about my job?
We understand that careers are very important, but your health must come first. If you continue to spiral in addiction you could lose your job and what you’ve worked hard for. Many employers have medical leave options for occasions like this. Our staff will also work with your employer at your request, otherwise your treatment at Pathways Recovery Center remains confidential.
 
Can I take my medication while in treatment?
We’ll go over all of your prescriptions during intake. All medically necessary medications will be continued. Pathways Recovery Center is a Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) facility, so some narcotic medication could be administered during detox, however we do not allow narcotic medications, opened vitamins or other pill bottles, or any medication containing alcohol, unless prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner.
 
Can I receive mail there?
Social support is essential in recovery from addiction. You can receive letters and packages while in treatment at Pathways Recovery Center, but all items must be opened and searched for any illicit or prohibited material. Safety is our priority.
 
What is your confidentiality policy?
Your consultation, treatment, and any other interactions with Pathways Recovery Center are 100% confidential. Any communication with other facilities, family, and any entity outside our treatment team, requires your written consent per federal HIPPA guidelines.
 
How are the accommodations there?
At Pathways Recovery Center, we offer semi-private, spacious rooms in our luxury facility. We want you to be comfortable and cozy so you can focus on your recovery. Our facility is large with a low capacity to allow for plenty of space per client.
 
Do you treat co-occurring mental disorders?
Although Pathways Recovery Center is not a mental health facility, we are a co-occurring equipped treatment center. We treat substance abuse disorders alongside mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and PTSD. During your screening and assessment, our clinical staff will work with you to determine your level of care. Our staff believe in treating the whole person, not just the addiction.
 
Is Pathways a 12 Step Program

Pathways Recovery Center takes a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment that extends beyond traditional 12-step programs while still incorporating their valuable elements when appropriate. Rather than being strictly bound to Alcoholics Anonymous methodology, Pathways offers diverse evidence-based treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and SMART Recovery, while also providing access to 12-step meetings as one component of their individualized treatment plans. This balanced approach allows clients to benefit from the community and accountability aspects of 12-step programs alongside cutting-edge therapeutic interventions and personalized care that addresses the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to their addiction.

What are some of the activities provided by Pathways?

At Pathways Recovery Center, we understand the importance of balance during treatment, which is why we offer a variety of outings to keep clients engaged and connected with the world outside the facility. These experiences provide healthy opportunities for fun, relaxation, and social connection while reinforcing the coping skills learned in treatment. Outings may include trips to the beach, scenic hikes, bowling, movies, museums, and other community activities—all designed to prevent clients from feeling confined and to support a more well-rounded recovery journey.
