Our Addiction Treatment Services
We offer addiction treatment options built around your needs, goals, and readiness for change. Every recovery journey is different, and your care plan should be, too.
Walk-In Evaluations
Visit during clinic hours for a same-day evaluation. We will review your situation, recommend a treatment level, and help you understand next steps.
DUI Evaluations & Seminars
If you need a DUI evaluation or seminar, we provide timely scheduling and clear guidance so you can complete requirements and move forward with support.
Outpatient Treatment (Level 1, 2.1, and 2.5)
Outpatient treatment levels may include:
- Level 1: Standard outpatient services with flexible scheduling for early recovery.
- Level 2.1: Intensive outpatient programming with multiple sessions per week for added structure.
- Level 2.5: Partial hospitalization or day treatment programming for clients who need a higher level of structure while still living at home.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
For those who qualify, MAT can reduce cravings and support recovery by combining counseling with FDA-approved medications. Learn more about our Medication-Assisted Treatment services and how they may fit into a whole-person plan.
Residential (Inpatient) Treatment
Residential treatment provides a structured environment for individuals who need a higher level of support than outpatient care. This option helps reduce exposure to daily triggers while building recovery skills, stability, and healthier routines. Learn more about residential inpatient treatment and whether it may be the right next step.
