our approach
Our Approach to counseling and treatment services
All counseling and treatment services provided by Rimrock Trails are guided by a trauma-informed philosophy that embraces the principles of safety, compassion, collaboration, support, and empowerment.
We believe individuals and families will do well if they can. For most people doing well is always preferable to not doing well, but only if they have the skills to do well in the first place. Our primary goal is to promote individual well-being and strengthen families. We value family involvement and view family participation as integral in the recovery process.
We blend evidence-based practices from medicine and psychology with historically proven addiction treatment methods. Our methods are strength-based, neurobiologically-grounded, and trauma-informed.
It is estimated that about half of those who experience a mental illness during their lives will also experience a substance use disorder and vice versa. Therefore, our therapists are mental health clinicians who are dually certified addictions counselors. Treatment of both substance use and co-occurring problems in an integrated program are vital to long-term success.

Excellent Outcomes
We value ongoing assessment and continual improvement of the services we deliver and will be known for achieving results with our clients. We will measure what is important to clients and achieve excellent outcomes on those measures.
We work at identifying and implementing evidence-based practices; assessing treatment fidelity; measuring consumer satisfaction and
healthcare outcomes; recognizing and rapidly addressing errors in care, and collaborating with other team members on service improvement.
