How Our Treatment Program Works
Every resident at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center follows a course of treatment developed just for her. A woman's treatment team considers all the available knowledge about her history. They consider her relationships with her friends and family, as well as her desires and wishes for the future. Together, the resident and the treatment team design an individualized therapeutic program to help the resident help herself. This collaborative process gives residents a sense of investment, empowerment and ownership of their recovery process.
