Specialties

What sets us apart is our commitment to people who struggle with substance abuse coupled with mental health disorders. This style of treatment is referred to as Dual Diagnosis because it focuses on treating the comorbid condition found in many individuals who have to battle mental health issues such as depression, narcissism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder in addition to their drug & alcohol addiction. Combined and left untreated both diagnoses may affect the individual on all levels of their life and make the maintenance of long term sobriety impossible. To have an effective treatment experience both illnesses must be assessed and diagnosed clinically and then treated with a thoughtful and individualized treatment plan.

History

Established in 2007.

Our program is individualized to meet each client’s needs and is designed to identify, address, and resolve addictive and self destructive patterns of living. While in treatment, each resident will work with therapists and other professionals to develop a unique treatment plan and complete discharge and aftercare planning that will fit the client’s way of life.
