CHRIST CENTERED

Capstone Treatment Center was founded on faith and clinical excellence. In 2001 we started in the Hickmon family home with a mission to provide life-changing treatment for young men in a Christ-Centered environment. We believe God has placed us in this role for a purpose; To make a difference in the lives of young men by equipping them with the therapeutic tools necessary to work through the hurt that brought them to us. We’ve worked with thousands of young men and their families from every corner of the U.S. and beyond.

2ND GENERATION FAMILY OWNED

Capstone is the only 2nd generation family owned residential treatment program in the country. Capstone isn’t just a treatment center — it’s a mission. A place where young men can find healing, and where families can begin to rebuild what felt lost. We founded Capstone with a vision that trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and faith-rooted purpose could work together to change lives. And for over 24 years we’ve helped thousands of families on the path to healing.

EVERY CLIENT GETS A DOG

At Capstone Treatment Center, every client gets a labrador retriever puppy on admission and takes that puppy home with them when they graduate. Our canine companions play a crucial role in our treatment process and provide our clients with a recovery companion for years to come.

CORE SYSTEMS MODEL

Dr. Adrian Hickmon created The Core-Systems Model, a treatment framework developed at Capstone Treatment Center and used for more than 23 years. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or surface-level interventions, this model retraces the roots of trauma, attachment wounds, and unhealed relational systems to find what truly makes sense underneath the pain.

BEST CLIENT TO THERAPIST RATIO

At 2:1, Capstone has the best client to therapist ratio in the country. A therapist’s caseload for inpatient treatment is often 5x higher than what we offer at Capstone. We believe your family needs individual care, that’s why our therapists only have 2 clients and why we provide 4.5 hours of individual therapy to our clients each week. The trust built with clients and their family is paramount as we give our clients the tools needed to effectively address their hurts.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

Family is involved every step of the way at Capstone. By participating in visitations, family therapy sessions, and our family week intensive, we help support the family unit and create a game plan for the days ahead. We offer months of weekly aftercare calls post-graduation, a family tune-up therapy experience, and an annual reunion with therapy groups and support.
