Addiction Treatment Programs
Our integrated addiction treatment programs address co-occurring mental health disorders through evidence-based therapies. Specializing in trauma-informed care, we offer phase-based treatment plans with same-day emergency appointments. Double board-certified psychiatrists oversee medication management while our multidisciplinary team delivers individual, family, and group therapy sessions tailored to each patient's needs.
Partial Hospitalization Program
This intensive day program serves children aged 6-17 with structured mental health treatment. Patients receive daily therapy sessions, psychiatric evaluations, and educational support five days weekly. The program prevents hospitalizations while providing crisis stabilization through a combination of individual therapy, family education, and recreational therapy activities in a safe environment.
Specialty Court Programs
Our court-ordered treatment programs offer alternatives to incarceration for non-violent offenders with mental health issues. Combining judicial oversight with clinical treatment, we deliver cognitive behavioral therapy and medication management. Participants benefit from case management services that address root causes while achieving 92% recidivism reduction rates post-graduation.
Foster Care Services
Specialized mental health services support foster children and families through trauma-informed care. Our team provides psychiatric evaluations, family therapy, and case management to achieve permanent placements. With over 50% reunification success rates, we focus on preventing overmedication while addressing behavioral health needs in children aged 6-17.
Intensive Outpatient Program
This flexible program offers structured mental health treatment three afternoons weekly. Designed for adolescents aged 12-17, it combines group therapy, family sessions, and psychiatric care.
