This center helps adults who are dealing with substance use and mental health challenges through a mix of clinical care and creative practices. Treatment options include full-day partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, individual therapy, and medication-assisted treatment when needed. This treatment uses safe, FDA-approved medications to reduce cravings and support stability while people work on recovery. The setting is trauma-informed, meaning it focuses on safety, respect, and connection, giving people a supportive place to begin healing.

Experience Therapies that are Both Proven and Supportive


The program is designed to help people make real, lasting changes with therapies that teach skills for managing emotions, shifting negative thought patterns, and preventing relapse. Medication-assisted treatment may also be part of care, combining medicine with counseling and regular support to lower the risk of relapse. Creative approaches such as art, mindfulness, and family counseling give people new ways to express themselves, strengthen relationships, and find purpose in recovery. Together, these supports encourage both personal healing and long-term progress.

Balance Structure With Flexibility

Treatment schedules are structured to guide while still fitting into daily life. Full-day partial hospitalization includes several hours of therapy five days a week, while intensive outpatient care offers shorter sessions with more flexibility. Both options include group and individual therapy, skill-building, and creative activities, giving people strategies they can use outside of treatment. This balance helps people work toward recovery while also keeping up with work, school, and family responsibilities.
