This county’s health department offers a continuum of services including access to assessments, treatment and referral services for more robust care.

You’ll also find a number of programs here that address secondary health struggles you’re facing such as anger or stress management, learning how to lead an independent lifestyle, and relapse education. If the programming here doesn’t support you in the way you need, you’ll get referred to other organizations through the agency or through private providers in the community.

As you work through your treatment program, you’ll be supported by an integrative team of healthcare and behavioral healthcare professionals. This will include licensed psychologists, board certified psychiatrists as well as licensed addiction counselors and mental health specialists.
