What Patients Can Expect at Headwaters

From the first interaction, Headwaters is committed to making each patient feel safe and supported. Our pre-admission process is led by a team of physicians, mental health experts, and nursing staff, each skilled in addressing the unique challenges faced by high-functioning professionals and individuals of significant responsibility. By openly outlining each step of care, we strive to build trust from day one.

Though addiction and psychological disorders touch people from all backgrounds, each group brings unique concerns. At Headwaters, we thoughtfully cultivate peer groups with shared life experiences, creating a support network that understands the specific challenges and expectations of everyone.

What Families Can Expect from Headwaters

At Headwaters, we recognize that a patient's journey to sustained recovery is significantly enhanced when the family plays an active role in the treatment process. For us, "family" encompasses more than traditional relationships; it often includes close friends, advisors, managers, and others within the supportive network of high-functioning professionals and individuals of means.

Our patients and their families are inseparable in the recovery journey. Both have been affected by addiction, and both are crucial to achieving lasting wellness. From initial assessment to aftercare planning, we invite families to actively participate in "the team" guiding the recovery process.

Our family-centered approach provides tailored therapeutic opportunities for each family member, mirroring the services offered to the client. This dual focus ensures that all participants receive the tools and support needed to heal individually and collectively.

Transparency and communication are essential. Subject to preserving the client's privacy, we prioritize keeping families informed and engaged throughout treatment. Regular updates and facilitated communication ensure that families remain connected and active participants in the recovery process.

What Referents Can Expect from Headwaters

At Headwaters, we deeply value the role of professionals who refer individuals to our program. Whether the referring party is a family member, treating psychiatrist, medical doctor, interventionist, employer, financial advisor, or manager, their insights and care are integral to the success of the client’s recovery journey.

We ensure that the history and context provided by referring professionals are thoughtfully incorporated into a tailored treatment plan. These plans combine the highest levels of clinical care with a safe, private environment that supports healing and confidentiality.

Headwaters maintains regular communication with referring professionals and other key stakeholders throughout the treatment process. From the first point of contact through discharge, we provide consistent updates on the client’s progress, ensuring transparency and alignment in the recovery journey. This collaborative approach reinforces a seamless continuum of care, offering confidence that the client is receiving personalized, effective treatment.

We understand the unique challenges faced by high-functioning professionals and individuals of means. Our team is well-versed in addressing issues specific to high-end circumstances, such as complex legal and financial matters, professional licensing concerns, and maintaining balance in demanding work environments.
