All Services
We’re here to help you heal and grow beyond recovery.
Individualized Addiction Treatment
We work around your schedule. Not to the exclusion of rigor and discipline. But with the understanding that life and healing go hand in glove. Our techniques are toolkits really. They're designed to help you reconnect with who you want to be.
Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
Our outpatient treatment center focuses on recovery through community and evidence-based treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI)— all practical tools and skills that we tailor to make sure they meet you where you are and they're in-line with your emotional and psychological needs.
Individual & Group Therapy (Psychiatry)
Psychiatric care will always fit into your schedule. It's used to make things work better—not to disrupt. This addition gives you the power to recover while maintaining a sense of calm and stability in your busy personal and professional life. It's a tool to promote wellness and resilience.
Evaluations & Assessments
Psychiatric care fits your schedule, helping you recover without disruption while maintaining calm, stability, and resilience.

Adult Program
Our adult program is designed to meet the needs of individuals who have experienced a disruption in their lives involving substance use and mental health concerns.
