Impact Statement

We offer several levels of person-centered treatment designed to meet the severity and unique needs of every patient we serve. In each program, our interdisciplinary staff of highly-qualified clinicians delivers treatment based on
evidence-based practices in a supportive atmosphere where patients can achieve a drug/alcohol-free lifestyle.

Our programs include cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step facilitation, trauma-informed treatment, and Medication Assisted Treatment, as needed.

Every step of the way, we are educating, empowering, and supporting the patient. We provide patients with education about the disease, how to identify the signs and symptoms of their substance use disorder, develop a recovery plan, and learn coping skills. We hold patients accountable as we support them in their efforts to change negative behaviors to positive.

In turn, we expect patients to act as responsible members of the patient community, complete treatment tasks, take part in their treatment planning, and fulfill their obligations within the Residential or Outpatient Community Structure.

What ways can the public get involved?

We welcome the community to get involved by joining one of NCTR’s Board committees: Development/Fundraising, Facilities, or Marketing/Communications.

The public can also donate in-kind goods, including clothing, books, art supplies, etc. for men and women in our residential programs. Due to strict HIPAA regulations and patient confidentiality, we are unable to accept volunteers other than Board members and professional internship opportunities.

How are charitable dollars spent? Where does my donation go?

Charitable donations are spent specifically to provide financial assistance to adults and adolescents who are uninsured, under-insured or without personal financial resources.

The two funds are: The Patient Assistance Fund and the Young Adult Treatment Fund in Memory of John Buck.

The Capital Improvement Fund allows us to fund capital projects across our programs from furnishing bedrooms and common areas, to landscaping outdoor spaces at the organization’s residential programs.
