About DART Center (DART Cherry Program)

Their services use a combination of therapy and holistic care. This means that they’ll be digging into your triggers to address any mental and behavioral disorders. You’ll have a better understanding of your condition and can find better outlets for frustrations without drugs. While you’re in treatment, you’ll be supervised throughout in case any emergencies come up. They don’t offer medications or detox, though. If you need to detox, you’ll be referred to another center nearby. All medical expenses will be your responsibility.

In addition to counseling, you’ll have the chance to learn new skills and healthier ways to deal with your emotions. Your health will improve, and your chances of rearrest or relapse will be much, much smaller when you head home to your loved ones.

There is so much wrong with this place. Most of the staff are bullies on a power trip. They are disrespectful, lazy and very unprofessional. The food, mostly sandwiches of some sort and mostly cold, is served in the smallest portions possible. The counselors are barely approachable and rude when talked to. The fact that the residents there are there because of drug addiction and criminal activity should make the staff think twice about the way they talk to the residents. It's told that once you're there for 4 weeks, visitation is allowed but that isn't the case. Visitation isn't allowed nor are packages from home. The whole place is full of asbestos and the ventilation is non-existent. The program offered is ruined by the rude and unprofessional staff.

Did the 90 days in fall of 2019. The program basically focuses on Addictive and criminal thinking patterns and the ones who give it a chance will get something out of it. Mr. Ray was my counselor and from day one was fair to all and a good , down to earth counselor. The concerns process was a blast and I can talk all day here but words can't explain the experience you just have to go if given a chance. It's not suppose to be fun ( which it isnt) but given the chance it can have a positive effect. PULL UP!!!

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Family therapy sessions address the emotional toll that addiction has had on the family unit and individual members. Therapists work with families to develop better coping strategies, which in turn create a stable environment for their loved one's recovery process.

Don't send your love ones here apparently they can't do their jobs properly. How are the individuals capable of getting any drugs. While being admitted into their care. It's absolutely shameful how they're supposed to be an capable, professional business. That's not even properly caring for them. I hope they do better but if not then I hope they'll be shut down.

I completed a 90day inpatient program in 2007. I then moved out of state. I still have a hold on my driver's license because they never sent the paperwork to DMV. It is now 2023, and I still can't get my driver's license because of this

My name is Robbie. I completed this program back in the early 2000 year. To say the least, the staff were very unprofessional, very rude, unknowledgeable about any kind of recovery. From my experience, All activities were based on movies that weren't actually related to recovery, there were paper work to complete, even writing a bio about yourself. And groups talks, most of which pertained of how each person come to be at dart cherry!!! The place was dirty, the staff would lie about you, write false reports, and create an atmosphere that was hardly expectable.. I'm surprised this place is still open. I was in my early 20s when I attended, and today I'm 45! At 45, I'm living my best life, have a wife and a full time job, but nothing ever credited from being at this place they call a recovery center!! It's actually a place to beat the prison system if your lawyer can work a deal for you and get you there... It actually keeps you from going to prison, and then send you home on probation!! If your looking to get clean, by all means, look somewhere else. This is not the place... Just my experience
