What to Expect from Our Christian Recovery Center

At Honey Lake Clinic, we believe in integrating faith into every aspect of our care. As humans created in God’s image, we believe that health involves harmony between the mind, body, and spirit. This is why our approach to treatment is more than a buzzword—it’s foundational to our philosophy of care.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our team, who will make you feel as comfortable as possible as you begin your journey to healing. We understand that this can feel overwhelming, but you won’t be alone at any point during the process.

The Intake Process

  • Arrival and screening – Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by a member of our security team and escorted to the Welcome Center. We will conduct a medical assessment to confirm stability before proceeding.
  • Initial assessments – Our nursing staff will conduct intake questions, assessments, and drug screenings. If female, you will also receive a pregnancy test. Your belongings will be inspected to ensure no contraband or unsafe items enter the campus, for the safety of all.
  • Introduction and planning – Depending on the time of arrival, you may meet your primary therapist, a licensed Ph.D. or master’s-level psychotherapist, who will conduct a comprehensive behavioral health assessment. This initial evaluation will help our treatment team create an individualized care plan designed just for you, which may include therapy, medical tests, or medications as necessary.

We see the intake process as the first step toward the new life that awaits you. Our hope is that you will feel encouraged and ready to begin your journey, knowing that you are not alone.

What Treatment Looks Like at Honey Lake Clinic

Once you’ve settled in, treatment will begin with a focus on identifying the root causes of your struggles and equipping you with tools to manage challenges in healthier ways. Here’s what you can expect from your stay:

  • Appointments and assessments – You will have weekly follow-up appointments with your psychiatric specialist. These appointments are meant to assess your progress and determine whether medication may be beneficial in relieving symptoms during your recovery journey.
  • Daily process groups – Healing is a daily commitment. At Honey Lake Clinic, you’ll participate in daily group sessions designed to help you learn and practice coping skills that can be applied to your everyday life.
  • Psychoeducation groups – Daily psychoeducation sessions focus on helping patients understand and apply the SPEARS decision-making method—our core therapeutic approach designed to promote thoughtful and intentional decision-making.

Our comprehensive mental health approach prepares you to return to your life with a renewed sense of purpose and the tools needed to overcome the challenges you face. At Honey Lake Clinic, you’ll leave with more than just knowledge; you’ll gain real skills that are wired into your thinking and behavior, helping you thrive beyond treatment.

Our Holistic Model of Care

Our approach to treatment is holistic, integrating faith-based principles with evidence-based therapies to bring healing to the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Each patient is assigned a team that includes a primary care provider, psychiatric specialist, counselor, case manager, and chaplain. This multidisciplinary team works together to provide a personalized treatment plan that addresses every facet of your wellness.

We believe in harmony with the laws of health—physical, mental, and spiritual. This includes practices such as proper nutrition, exercise, rest, and mental wellness. Healing involves aligning your life with these principles and applying them with guidance and practice. For example, just as swimming requires more than listening to a lecture—it requires getting in the water—healing requires applying what you learn in a supportive environment.

The Three Phases of Treatment

  • Assessment – We begin with a bio-psycho-spiritual evaluation that considers all aspects of your health—physical, medical, psychiatric, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual. This comprehensive assessment allows us to understand your unique challenges and needs.
  • Treatment – After assessment, we create a personalized master treatment plan that guides your healing journey. This plan involves evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), combined with faith-based support and holistic interventions.
  • Transition – One of the most compassionate aspects of our program is ensuring a well-developed plan for continued growth beyond Honey Lake Clinic. Our transition plan prioritizes continuity of care, providing patients with tools to prevent recurrence and maintain the progress they’ve made during their time with us.
