Youth Residential Care

Youth residential services offer structured support in a home-like setting for teens struggling with trauma history, behavioral issues, or serious mental health needs. Before admission, the team completes a thorough assessment to match each teen with the least restrictive level of care that fits their needs. While in residential care, youth may receive individual, group, and family therapy, psychiatric services, case management, nursing, and educational support. Family sessions are built into the program so progress carries over into daily routines at home.

Integrated Substance Use and Mental Health Treatment

The center provides care for people facing substance use concerns alongside mental illness or emotional disturbance. Services span regular outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and 24-hour residential settings. Clients can receive comprehensive assessments for both substance use and mental health, followed by individual, group, and family counseling. Treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, anger management, and relapse prevention, with options for adolescents, young adults, and adults. The program can support people living with co-occurring pain conditions as well as substance use.

Medications for Addiction Treatment and Overdose Prevention

The program offers medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioid use, along with medication therapy for mental health conditions and tobacco cessation. People may start medications on-site or continue medications prescribed elsewhere, with care coordinated through in-network or contracted prescribers as needed. Naloxone and overdose education is provided to help clients reduce their risk during and after treatment.

Accessibility and Ongoing Support

Many people considering treatment also navigate transportation, childcare, work schedules, and financial stress. To ease these pressures, the center offers transportation assistance, case management, and help accessing social services. Mentoring and peer support, along with substance use education and counseling, help people build community and skills for life after treatment. Sign language services are offered to help make care accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. As part of a larger community mental health center, the organization also invests in school-based services and other community partnerships.
