I was encouraged by a Capstone dad to get the word out on our web site concerning what people get for their money at Capstone. His son had been a resident at other treatment centers and he was comparing the value of the Capstone experience to his experience at these other programs.

This is a breakdown of what Capstone offers:

• Capstone therapists have a 1 to 2 ratio to the residents so they can devote the necessary time, energy, and personal attention to their residents and families.
• The family participates in over sixty hours of family therapy (most of which are with their individual therapist) which includes phone therapy, Family Week, Family Retreat, Relapse Prevention Tune-ups, Reunions and aftercare.
• The resident participates in four hours per week of individual therapy with their personal therapist.
• The resident participates in a duo with another Capstone therapist or other staff member; the duo does not count as a therapy session but instead as a connecting point to more Capstone people.
• The resident participates in a duo with another Capstone therapist or other staff member 5 – 10 times; the duo does not count as a therapy session but instead as a connecting point to more Capstone people.
• The resident participates in one hour of Canine Therapy per day with their puppy, seven days per week plus two thirty minute canine-care sessions; one in the morning and one in the evening.
• The resident participates in four workouts per week including weight lifting and cardio conditioning.
• The resident participates in at least 15 hours of group therapy per week.
• The resident participates in Adventure Therapy on the ropes course once a week.
• The resident participates in Outdoor Adventures each Friday as a part of Displacement Therapy. Activities include fishing, caving, rock climbing and rappelling, hiking, canoeing and kayaking.
• The resident participates in a supervised three day solo experience.
• Great meals everyday prepared by Scott Hunt, retired US Navy Submarine Force.
• Participation in 12 Steps Groups on Capstone campus.
• Each family, resident and parents, participates in aftercare with a one-hour phone session per week for three months following graduation.
• Great meals everyday prepared by Scott Hunt, retired US Navy Submarine Force.
• A therapy approach aimed at discovering the causes and addressing them in order to stop the symptoms instead of naming the symptoms only.
• A tried and true aftercare plan: a two-year game plan aimed at a paradigm shift of the heart designed to provide the skills necessary to learn how to live a sober life that is healthy, fruitful, and fulfilling.
