Community-Based Approach

The center provides accessible, person-centered treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. The program emphasizes community connection and flexibility, meeting people where they are in their recovery. Open 24 hours a day, the clinic’s peer-run recovery center offers immediate access to services, social support, and a safe environment for anyone seeking help. Whether beginning detox, stabilizing in outpatient care, or continuing long-term recovery, individuals receive the structure and encouragement needed to rebuild confidence and create lasting change.

Accessible, On-Demand Treatment

Multiple levels of care are offered to allow individuals to enter and progress through treatment at their own pace. Options include day treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient detoxification, providing both medical and therapeutic support without the need for overnight stays. Walk-in access and same-day assessments are available, and telehealth appointments expand reach for those unable to attend in person or who prefer to receive treatment from home. The program’s flexible scheduling supports clients balancing family, work, or school responsibilities.

Evidence-Based Counseling, Education, and MAT

Treatment combines evidence-based therapies with a focus on emotional healing and behavioral change. Clients engage in individual, family, and group counseling sessions that address topics such as trauma, relapse prevention, anger management, and relationship repair. Group sessions encourage open discussion and mutual accountability, while family therapy strengthens communication and supports healing at home. Specialized workshops and education sessions cover recovery maintenance, health and wellness, and coping skills for stress and emotional triggers. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can be administered on-site when needed to help ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Peer Support and Connection

Peer support is central to the center’s recovery model. The on-site Open Access Recovery Center operates as a “recovery living room,” where individuals can drop in anytime to talk with peers, attend meetings, or participate in sober recreational activities. Daily groups, community meals, and events like yoga, karaoke, and game nights help encourage connection and reduce isolation. Peer advocates provide one-on-one guidance, helping clients navigate recovery challenges and celebrate progress.

Long-Term Recovery Assistance

Clients can receive help with transportation, job readiness, and educational goals, along with access to health education, social services, and life-skills development. Workshops on budgeting, communication, and goal setting are offered to help individuals regain independence and stability. Staff can also coordinate referrals for housing, childcare, or medical services as needed.
