George “NYGeorge” R2024-06-25I am very happy to give a great review to Sullivan Recovery because of they are genuine in their love for helping and guiding myself and the others I was there with. I wasn't easy when I got there, it took 2 attempts to pick me up and about 4 hours of being on the fence about staying/going back inside. They met me where I was at with stern kindness and helped me value my progress regularly. It's not your average detox/residential that shoves meds and a schedule in front of you and grabs the next intake. Everything was planned in detail to bring the most out of my time there. The Sullivan brothers were in constant daily contact with me when I was there, and since I completed I'm in a zoom with them and others from the program. They're both very much in my life today. If you or anyone you care about need help contact Sullivan Recovery, even if you're not ready they will meet you where you're at.Wes2024-06-18Look NO FURTHER for your answer's to a D/A Detox. Sullivan Recovery provided for me over -the -top excellency, from the owner's, staff, and supporting facilitators. Just a hint of willingness is all you need to succeed here. They CARE for you and you become family upon entering and even more so upon graduation!Nora HOOD2024-06-18The Sullivan house was the biggest decision and the smartest decision I ever made in my life. The staff are wonderful and great, very respectful, very clean house. Very caring and supportive in every kind of way you could think There's not one bad thing I could say about anybody are about my time there. I'm very grateful and thankful for my sobriety today and I owe it to them. So thank you and God bless. And I recommend it to everybody and anybody who needs help.😘

Sullivan Recovery was born from the lived experiences of brothers Cory and Tyson Sullivan. Having faced the challenges of drug and alcohol addiction + mental health struggles firsthand, they understand the journey to recovery is deeply personal.

Sullivan Recovery is a medical detox treatment center dedicated to providing individualized, evidence-based therapy options tailored to each person’s unique needs and situation.
Cory and Tyson’s dedication to helping others extends far beyond the walls of Sullivan Recovery. Their active involvement with the Nowell Family Foundation, in honor of the great Bradley Nowell, a non-profit organization focused on addiction prevention and recovery support, exemplifies their unwavering commitment to creating positive change. This deep passion ensures that their work goes beyond simply treating individuals; they’re invested in building a stronger, healthier community for all.
Medical drug and alcohol detox is a medically supervised process aimed at safely managing withdrawal symptoms and clearing the body of substances.
Evaluation: A thorough assessment is conducted to determine the severity of alcohol or drug addiction, identify any co-occurring medical or mental health conditions, and create a personalized detox plan.
Stabilization: Medical professionals monitor vital signs, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and provide emotional support. The goal is to ensure safety and comfort throughout the detox process.
Therapy and Counseling: Individual and group therapy by our licensed clinicians help address the underlying causes of addiction, develop coping mechanisms, and prepare for ongoing treatment.
Aftercare Planning: As detox is just the first step in recovery, a comprehensive aftercare plan is created, which may include inpatient or outpatient rehab, support groups, and continued therapy. For those needing intensive support, a partial hospitalization program is available to provide structured care during recovery.
Substance(s) used: Each substance has a unique withdrawal process.
Alcohol and Benzodiazepines: These can have severe and potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, often requiring medical supervision for several days or longer.
Opioids: While withdrawal is rarely life-threatening, the discomfort can be intense, and medication-assisted treatment may be necessary for days or weeks.
Stimulants (Cocaine, Methamphetamine): These primarily involve psychological withdrawal (fatigue, cravings), but the duration can vary significantly.
Other substances (Marijuana, Hallucinogens): Usually have milder withdrawal symptoms, but the psychological aspects can linger.
Severity of addiction:
Length of use: Longer and heavier use typically means more intense withdrawal and potentially longer detox.
Frequency of use: Daily users often have more dependence than occasional users.
Amount used: Higher doses can mean a more difficult withdrawal process.
Individual factors:
Age: Older individuals may have a slower metabolism and be more sensitive to withdrawal effects.
Health: Underlying medical conditions can complicate detox and require additional monitoring.
Co-occurring disorders: Mental health issues like depression or anxiety can be exacerbated during withdrawal and may need simultaneous treatment.
Genetics: Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to more intense withdrawal symptoms.

Admission and Intake: Once the assessment is complete and insurance benefits are verified, you will be admitted to the program. The intake process involves gathering additional information, completing paperwork, and orienting you to the treatment facility.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone in addiction recovery. This evidence-based therapy equips you with the tools to identify and transform negative thought patterns and behaviors that are often deeply ingrained as a result of addiction.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is particularly effective for individuals struggling with emotional regulation and interpersonal issues, both of which are crucial skills in maintaining sobriety. DBT blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, offering a holistic approach to healing.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is designed to enhance your intrinsic motivation to change and fully commit to the recovery process. Our skilled therapists will collaborate with you to explore your personal goals, values, and aspirations, igniting the desire for positive change.
Group Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for you to connect with peers who share similar experiences and understand the challenges of addiction. This collaborative setting fosters a sense of belonging and allows you to draw strength from the collective wisdom of the group.
Family Therapy Addiction affects not only the individual but also their loved ones. Family Therapy is a critical component of our comprehensive approach to recovery. It aims to repair strained relationships, rebuild trust, and create a supportive environment for sustainable healing.
