Features of our programs

Our staff is specially trained in trauma-informed care, which is a treatment based on the assumption that you have experienced trauma at one point in your life. Our treatment team provides a safe, therapeutic environment to help you stabilize with the goal of returning you home safely.

Adult behavioral health

Our adult behavioral health services are for those 18 years old and older. We provide mental health education while treating conditions such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.

Adolescent behavioral health

Our adolescent mental health program treats youths ages 10 to 17 years old who may be suffering from depression, anxiety, family problems, sexual abuse or suicidal thoughts. They may also be at risk for substance abuse. The program provides inpatient and outpatient treatment, on-site education resources, support services and aftercare.

Suicide prevention

We have a suicide prevention program that is the result of a partnership with the Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI), an educational organization dedicated to the awareness and prevention of youth suicide. We give young people, educators, youth workers and parents the tools and resources to help identify those at risk of harming themselves.

Outpatient behavioral health

We offer two types of outpatient behavioral health treatment. If you or your child have been recently hospitalized, and are ready to be discharged, the partial hospitalization program (PHP) helps ease the transition back into the community. The intensive outpatient program is right for you if you don't need partial hospitalization but require the flexibility of receiving services on your own schedule.

Substance abuse

We also offer outpatient inpatient and outpatient substance abuse programs if you need help with alcohol and drug addiction. Our inpatient program offers detox treatment and our outpatient programs provide support specifically for substance abuse. If you have substance abuse problems, you may also experience a variety of mental health conditions (called dual diagnosis). Our program treats both issues to give you a stable foundation to recover and succeed.

Continuing behavioral health treatment

Our discharge planners work to ensure that you and your family know what is going on and what comes next every step of the way. Continuing care with a group, a therapist or a primary care doctor is always part of our plan.
