About the Facility

La Casa Del Puente Treatment Center is a drug and alcohol treatment center in Morgan Hill, California that supports youth and adults struggling with addiction. La Casa Del Puente Treatment Center also provides supportive community resources, such as referrals, mental health services, criminal justice support, and other social services.

Addiction-related services at La Casa Del Puente Treatment Center include mental health assessments, inpatient residential treatment, counseling, outpatient programs, and dual diagnosis treatment.

Mental Health Assessment and Counseling
Staff complete assessments to evaluate participants’ mental health for substance use disorder, its severity, and any co-occurring conditions. This information is used to create an individualized treatment plan, which may involve individual, group, and family counseling.

Inpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment
La Casa Del Puente provides a structured recovery program which is available to teens (13 to 17) and adults (18+). Treatment includes individual and group counseling, education, life skills, support groups, and recreational activities. The program is staffed 24-hours a day with professional counselors and peer support staff.

Dual Diagnosis Addiction & Mental Health Treatment
Dual diagnosis treatment uses evidence-based practices to treat addiction and mental health diagnoses at the same time. The center offers these programs for adults over 18 and teens, aged 13 to 17. Treatment begins with a comprehensive mental health assessment and development of an individualized plan of care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Outpatient is for individuals who need addiction treatment but don’t need 24-hour care. The program requires participants to attend individual and group treatment sessions several days per week. Participants receive counseling, participate in skills-development groups, and develop a relapse-prevention strategy.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
