Our Mission

Our mission is to provide quality, comprehensive, compassionate, affordable and innovative care to adult men and women struggling with alcohol and / or drug addiction and mental / behavioral health issues. Through research-based and empathetic care we instill hope that long-term recovery is possible. Our purpose and passion is to empower the individual, his / her family, and the community through the promotion of optimal wellness of the mind, body, and spirit.

The Disease of Addiction

Integral to our mission is the fact that addiction is a treatable disease, as are its associated medical, psychological, and social complications. Addiction signifies a physical and psychological dependency on drugs and alcohol. Depending on the drug type, the disease can take control quickly or gradually over time. Regardless of the drug type, the disease wreaks havoc on the user’s life and the lives of his or her loved ones.

It is truly possible to become addiction-free and enjoy a healthy, satisfying life. In order to establish a foundation for ongoing recovery, one must not only recognize and accept the need for Alcohol and Drug abstinence but also undergo changes in attitude, behavior, lifestyle, and values.

Taking the First Step
Admitting that you or someone you care about has an Alcohol and Drug dependency problem isn’t easy.
How do you know when drinking or drug use has gotten out of hand? Generally, if it interferes with family and social life, work, health, emotional stability and/or spiritual life, then Alcohol and Drug dependency is a problem.

Then a course of treatment — tailored to your unique needs — is prescribed. Please arrive 30 minutes early for your assessment appointment to allow time to complete our questionnaire. You can plan on spending a couple of hours with our staff. Bring a list of prescribed medications, the names of prescribing physicians, and any prior Alcohol and Drug dependency and / or treatment experiences.
