Our substance use treatment programs are designed to support individuals facing a wide range of addiction and recovery challenges. Services are available for those struggling with alcohol use disorder, drug dependency, gambling disorder, relapse prevention concerns, and substance use issues affecting adolescents and young adults. We also provide care for individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health conditions, recognizing that substance use and mental health challenges often require an integrated and personalized treatment approach.
Recovery is a deeply personal journey, and effective treatment begins with understanding each individual’s unique experiences, circumstances, and goals. Whether someone is seeking help for the first time, returning to treatment after a relapse, or managing long-term recovery, care is tailored to meet their specific needs. Through evidence-based interventions, supportive counseling, and individualized treatment planning, clients are empowered to build healthier coping strategies and create a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed care and have experience working with diverse populations, including Veterans, LGBTQIA+ individuals, justice-involved persons, domestic violence survivors, adolescents, and young adults. By providing culturally responsive, respectful, and inclusive care, we strive to create an environment where every individual feels supported, understood, and empowered throughout their recovery process.

Taking the first step toward recovery is a meaningful decision, and the process should feel supportive, respectful, and easy to navigate. Substance use counseling begins with an initial conversation to better understand your situation, concerns, and recovery goals. From there, you can be matched with the appropriate counselor and services based on your needs.
Once your first appointment is scheduled, your counselor will complete a comprehensive assessment to learn more about your substance use history, mental health concerns, personal strengths, and challenges. This assessment helps create a personalized treatment plan designed to support your recovery, improve coping skills, and address the factors contributing to substance use.
Care is tailored to each individual and may include in-person counseling, eligible telehealth services, referrals, and ongoing support based on clinical need. The goal is to provide a clear path forward with compassionate guidance, practical tools, and a treatment plan focused on long-term recovery and overall well-being.

You don’t have to wait for rock bottom to get help. The sooner you reach out, the sooner you can reclaim your life. Recovery is possible—and it starts with one step. Let’s take it together.
