Their team will work with you to come up with a treatment plan that meets your needs. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) which is a proven way to treat opioid and alcohol disorders.

Your provider will discuss the pros and cons of each to find one that will be best for you.

Counseling can take place at many levels of care from intervention to aftercare. In one-on-one sessions, you’ll work with an experienced addiction counselor to unpack the things that led to your destructive behaviors. You’ll learn healthy coping skills and how to reframe negative thought processes.

Their youth program is for teens who are struggling with substance misuse and mental health. The program helps them develop their self-esteem, self sufficiency and personal identity. Teens will get support to create short and long-term goals based on their strengths. Staff will work with family, school staff and other community service providers to make sure the teen’s needs are met.
