Specializing in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment for Professionals and Executives

Directed by Dr. Arnold M. Washton, a well known addiction psychologist and book author with a long track record of success in treating substance abuse and related problems, Recovery Options is a specialized private practice dedicated to treating professionals, executives, and other high-functioning adults. If you are seeking a flexible, discreet alternative to one size fits all addiction treatment programs, we will design a personalized treatment plan for you - whether this is your first treatment episode or you have tried other treatments without success. We will also evaluate and treat you for problems with anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

The cornerstones of our treatment approach are flexibility, choice, and above all developing a respectful therapeutic relationship with each and every client seeing this method rather than aggressive confrontation as the best way to motivate and empower people to change.  We offer a range of different treatment options and we tailor the treatment to fit each patient's individual needs and circumstances-- whether you are using alcohol, cocaine, prescription drugs, or other addictive substances.

We offer abstinence-based treatment for individuals who want to completely stop using all mood-altering substances and maintain a lifestyle free of alcohol and other drugs. We also offer the unique option of moderation management for non-alcoholic problem drinkers who want to reduce their drinking to safer levels and prevent the development of more serious alcohol-related problems.

We will help you to:

• break free of alcohol/drug use and other addictive behaviors
• develop more effective coping and problem-solving skills
• work through underlying emotional and psychological issues
• reduce your relapse potential over the long term

Recovery Options is a specialized private practice, not a clinic or program. Our totally confidential office-based treatment services are highly responsive to the complex needs of men and women with demanding careers and busy lifestyles.  Our clients include physicians, corporate executives, business owners, attorneys, financial managers, accountants, artists, and others whose lives have been adversely affected by substance abuse and related problems.

Our Mission

• To help our clients maintain their therapeutic gains and prevent relapse over the long-term
