Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Choices in Recovery is a nonprofit treatment center that helps adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. They offer a full range of care, including detox, residential treatment, outpatient services, and sober living homes. With over 30 years of service, Choices is committed to supporting individuals and families through every step of the recovery journey. Their approach combines evidence-based therapies with a 12-step program to support lasting recovery. Clients receive care that is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and tailored to individual needs. Therapy options include group counseling, relapse prevention, and life skills training, helping clients build healthy habits and confidence as they move forward. Clients in residential treatment live in structured, supportive homes that offer more than just shelter—they provide routine, chores, group participation, and opportunities for growth through service work, job support, and education. This helps clients rebuild their lives in a stable and caring setting.
