Our Services

We offer a wide range of services, including:

Mental Health Services

Our trained and experienced staff provide responsive, effective, and individualized therapeutic care across the lifespan. We recognize that each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and goals that drive their plans for services. Treatment recommendations consider personal needs and preferences and may include individual, group, or family sessions.

Substance Use Services

Our Substance Use Services program provides comprehensive assessment services and treatment recommendations for individuals struggling with substance use disorders. We offer a range of treatment options, including outpatient treatment, support groups, and peer specialist services.

Psychiatric Services

Our psychiatric providers are uniquely qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological disturbance. They can make a complete, accurate diagnosis and recommend or provide treatment.

Therapeutic Foster Care

Our Therapeutic Foster Care program provides a family foster home-based treatment program for children with special needs. Treatment foster parents provide nurturing basic day-to-day care while also providing extra time and effort to help the child meet their emotional and behavioral needs.

Zero Suicide

We are committed to a system-wide transformation toward safer suicide care through the Zero Suicide framework. We believe that suicide deaths are preventable and strive to embed evidence-based practices focused on patient safety and offer hope for recovery for people at risk for suicide.
