Outpatient Addiction Treatment and Psychiatric Support

Care begins with a psychiatric evaluation to determine the right fit. I found that adults ages 18 and older can access outpatient drug and alcohol services including counseling and intensive outpatient options for substance use disorders.

Clients can expect therapy grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing along with medication management and psychiatric support when needed.

I noted they also offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care, Christian counseling, and recovery support resources such as care navigation and the Families Joined support group.
