Stretched across 15-acres, the IAFF Center of Excellence is designed with the firehouse in mind. The treatment experience is spread across seven buildings, with areas designated for therapy, meals and living. IAFF members stay in one of four station houses, each fitted with comfortable furnishings designed to mirror familiar firehouse spaces. To strengthen camaraderie and build a network of support, clients are housed together based on their shared treatment needs. Walking trails set against looming evergreens round out the campus and set the stage for the renewing process of recovery.
We want you to feel at home at the IAFF Center for Excellence. That’s why we designed it with the firehouse in mind, to make treatment as comfortable as possible. You’ll find familiar touches throughout the common areas and residences.
Within therapeutic, residential, and outdoor activity areas, clients have access to a broad range of healing amenities and activities that promote physical and mental well-being, including:
Treatment at the IAFF Center of Excellence is evidence-based, which means each step on your path to recovery is backed by scientific research and accepted results within the scientific community. Our multidisciplinary approach — combining the expertise of doctors, nurses and clinicians from different disciplines — means we treat the whole person, not just the addiction or disorder.
You’ll undergo a screening process before and after you’re admitted. During screening, you will be asked questions about substance use, psychiatric, medical, social and legal history. We will also discuss insurance and payment for treatment.
You’ll meet with your primary care physician and therapist within 24 hours of arrival. At this time, you will undergo a medical exam and discuss goals for your treatment.
