Our structured Day Treatment Program—available in both morning (AM) and evening (PM) sessions—offers a well-rounded approach to care, rooted in proven clinical methods and supportive services.
Your individualized care may include:

At Compass Recovery West, you’ll never walk this path alone. We’re here to support your healing and growth every step of the way.
