Our compassionate and experienced team is dedicated to providing the tools and encouragement necessary to help you — and by extension, your family — flourish.

Substance Abuse

Assessments

Substance Abuse Assessments offer a thorough evaluation to identify the extent of substance use and guide personalized treatment planning for recovery.

Counseling

Substance Abuse Counseling provides personalized support and therapy to help individuals overcome addiction, develop coping strategies, and achieve lasting recovery.

Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT)

MDFT is an evidence-based approach that addresses the complex needs of adolescents facing substance use, behavioral issues, and emotional challenges by involving the entire family in treatment. MDFT focuses on improving family dynamics, communication, and support while addressing multiple aspects of the adolescent’s life, such as peer influences and school involvement.

Group Therapy: Involves a group of people meeting weekly with our addictions counselors to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and experiences related to substance use.  It provides a safe and supportive environment to help people learn from others and recognize they are not alone in their struggles. The group creates opportunities to practice new skills, coping methods, and help build relationships.
