This center treats mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. You receive collaborative, individualized treatment that addresses both issues for whole-person healing.

They provide residential treatment, day treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and an LGBTQ+ group track, meeting clients where they are in their recovery journey. Their intimate, 8-bed facility offers privacy and personalized care, with most clients residing in upscale apartments shared with a roommate.
