Our Mission is to provide quality, individualized, holistic outpatient treatment to individuals and families struggling with alcohol/drug abuse and dependence, and other addictive disorders, and their communities.
Our Philosophy
We understand that aicohol, drug and other addictive disorders develop over time and interrelate with people's physical, mental, spiritual and social states. Our treatment approach is appropriately holistic, incorporating the best of mental and behavioral health and substance abuse strategies.
We see the community as a potential resource for support in recovery, and encourage clients to design their own network using AA, NA, church groups, social clubs, family, friends and/or other service providers.
Treatment Options
We provide a broad range of treatment modalities. A variety of groups are ongoing, and our experience has taught us that, even for shy "I don't like groups" people this form of treatment gets the quickest and most long lasting results.
