Flexible Take-Home Medication Options

Clients who meet certain criteria in their recovery process can become eligible to bring doses of their prescribed medications home with them. This flexibility is a benefit for clients managing childcare, job obligations, and other responsibilities. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis through a structured system that tracks factors such as scheduled meeting attendance, behavior, and safety.

Individual, Group, and Family Counseling

The center employs licensed counselors who provide evidence-based care for individuals, groups, and families. These services are flexible and include both in-person and telehealth options, allowing clients to more easily fit sessions into their schedules. Counseling is integrated with MAT to address the physical, mental, and emotional components of recovery together.

Staff at the center work to connect clients with community resources to support them in their long-term recovery, including referrals to specialists and health services, housing resources, employment staffing agencies, and local food pantries. The center also helps clients obtain health insurance coverage and explore available transportation options.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The center’s IOP program offers treatment lasting at least six weeks. Services include education focusing on physical and emotional health, activities designed around recovery and resilience, and practical tools for the client’s family members and loved ones.
