Austin Davis on Personalized Addiction Treatment at Stonegate Center
We're going to get them acclimated to our materials, our facility. A Treatment Day is jam-packed full of good stuff.
Ever wondered what makes a treatment center truly effective? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast Radio', Neil Scott sits down with Austin Davis, the Clinical Director at Stonegate Center in Azle, Texas. Recorded at the 2015 TAAP Conference on Addiction Studies, this conversation dives into Stonegate's unique relational approach to addiction treatment. Austin Davis emphasizes that understanding the individual is key.
The first week at Stonegate is all about acclimating patients and getting to know them deeply, setting the stage for personalized care. The days are packed with individual and group therapy, educational sessions, and recreational activities, all designed to address the root causes of addiction, not just the symptoms. A standout feature of Stonegate’s program is their discharge planning, which starts on day one.
Davis explains how this early focus helps patients build the skills they need to maintain sobriety after leaving the facility. Family involvement is also crucial; every Tuesday night, families join in a two-hour group session, strengthening the support network essential for recovery. Affordability is another important aspect of Stonegate’s philosophy. They offer a 30-day program that costs less than many well-known 7-day programs and accept private insurance on an out-of-network basis.
Davis shares several heartwarming success stories of former patients who have maintained their sobriety and continue to stay connected with Stonegate. If you or someone you know is battling addiction, this episode offers a glimpse into a compassionate and effective treatment approach that could make a difference.
