Across all levels of care, MCA offers evidence-based therapy through individual, group, and family sessions, along with holistic practices like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.

MCA provides clients with the necessary tools to address addiction, primary mental health conditions, or both. A thorough assessment evaluates substance use and identifies any co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or bipolar. A personalized treatment plan then reflects each client’s specific challenges, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated approach to recovery.

MCA provides opportunities for long-term success, even after clients have left their care. They establish appropriate step-down procedures and exit strategies as part of the discharge plan, ensuring clients have appropriate resources—housing, therapy, support groups, health care appointments, etc.—and case management support to continue achieving their recovery goals.
