If you are addicted to heroin, prescription pain medication, fentanyl or other opioid drugs or substances, and need medical and/or mental health assistance, our trusted outpatient and residential treatment programs can help you beat addiction and strengthen capabilities so you can rejoin your community. From clinicians and medical providers to our staff of dedicated professionals, we come together to support you on your journey to recovery.
We also recognize that difficult life experiences and ongoing life stressors contribute to dependence on substances. Our commitment is to provide care in environments, and through relationships, that are predictable, collaborative and safe.
