Addiction Care

Addiction care services must focus on the person, not the behavior. That central idea is a vital part of all our services, which include chemical dependency evaluations, individual therapy sessions, couples/family therapy sessions and a variety of group sessions. We provide care at a range of levels:

  • Early intervention
  • Pain management and relapse prevention
  • Intensive outpatient

No referral is needed for a chemical dependency evaluation. After an assessment, your therapist will make recommendations for an appropriate level of care ranging from inpatient residential treatment to outpatient care.

We employ the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) guidelines, so each patient receives the proper level of care. We incorporate physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual aspects of care and treatment.

Educational Support Groups

Trained mental health professionals facilitate therapy for groups with similar struggles and life experiences. A prescreening is required to join some groups. These supportive and educational group sessions are offered at our clinic:

  • STEPPs, STAIRWAYS & STRIDES™
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills
  • Adolescent Outpatient Group
  • Postpartum (4th Trimester) Group
