Designed for High-Functioning Executives and Professionals
Most addiction programs follow a single path. We don't.
Executives, physicians, attorneys, and other professionals who want expert help to regain control — whether your goal is moderation or abstinence.
Your career is intact, but your substance use is becoming harder to control
You're functioning well publicly, but running into more problems privately
You've tried cutting back or stopping on your own without lasting success
You're unsure whether total abstinence is really necessary and would like to find out if you can learn how to drink moderately without giving up alcohol forever
Your substance use is compounding problems with anxiety, depression, relationships, physical health, or other important aspects of your life
You want flexible, intelligent help that does not disrupt your work and home life
Treatment for discerning clients, including those seeking timely help for alcohol and drug problems before severe addiction and other irreversible consequences occur.
We offer private, intelligent, individualized help for high-functioning people who still have their lives intact
Treatment is based on clinical science, not ideology and belief systems
Moderation, harm reduction, total abstinence, and incremental change are all supported as legitimate treatment goals
This unique program gives you strategies and tools based on decades of scientific research
Whether your problem involves alcohol, opioids, cocaine, cannabis, or other addictive drugs- we can help!
To ensure lasting recovery, we treat not only the addictive behavior itself, but also the underlying emotional and psychological issues that continue to drive the addictive process if left unresolved
Unlike standard "one size fits all" programs, we will work with you to formulate a treatment plan tailored to your unique personality, circumstances, and lifestyle.
Your personalized treatment plan may include:
The goal is not simply stopping a problem behavior — but helping you regain clarity, control, and contentment

Recognizing that the most effective treatment begins with a direct personal connection (not a pre-screening interview by an administrator or intake coordinator), you can schedule a preliminary call with Dr. Arnold Washton or Dr. Lori Washton to briefly discuss your situation and decide whether the treatment we offer is potentially a good fit for you. Whether you're an executive seeking discreet help for yourself, or a parent concerned about a son or daughter, you deserve to speak directly with the expert who will be providing the care.
Choosing a treatment provider is a significant decision. To ensure that our specialized services align with your needs, we offer a preliminary introductory call at no charge directly with Dr. Arnold Washton or Dr. Lori Washton.
(Please note that we do not participate in any insurance plans and all of our treatment services are provided on a self-pay basis, but you can submit our invoices for out-of-network reimbursement on your own)
Many first calls come to us from spouses or concerned others unsure how to help — often after seeing that pleading and threatening fail to produce the desired result. We can help you understand options and next steps even if your loved one is not yet ready to start treatment.
