Addiction Services

Program Description

Individuals in need of this intensive level of treatment are those who are severely depressed, suicidal, threatening harm to others, or who suffer from a severe, profound or chronic mental illness. Within this kind of environment, the opportunity for growth development and healing can begin.

Our dual diagnosis treatment services address both psychiatric and addiction issues to promote increased overall wellness.

Individuals wishing to be admitted to the Adult Psychiatric program can do so through our 24 hour Helpline, with professionals available 7 days a week.
