As you can see below, we offer a variety of substance use services. These services are continuously offered at numerous times and days to ensure that they best fit your schedule.
We begin with a comprehensible assessment to develop a personalized treatment plan for you and, when appropriate, your family.
Crisis Stabilization
Crisis stabilization services are designed to be available when you need them. These services help you during periods of high stress and at critical points in your treatment and recovery process. Effective use of crisis stabilization services helps you maintain treatment progress and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations during a mental health crisis.
Outpatient Therapy
We respect that recovery looks different for everybody. We can meet with you one on one to identify your reasons for substance use and develop a plan for recovery. Also, we can work with your family to help them to provide support for your recovery plan and process.
Our professionals understand that substance use and mental health issues often occur together. We identify and treat both issues to improve your skills for continuing in your recovery.
If medication can be helpful in strengthening your recovery, our psychiatric services staff provide assessment, evaluation, and supportive medication therapy.
