They provide affordable assessment and treatment for substance use disorders to people in the local community.
They are approved by the state to provide Traffic Safety Institute courses for probationers and many employers.

Your treatment plan is developed on an in-depth assessment and evaluation of your mental health and substance use disorder needs.
An important priority at this treatment center is treating you with dignity and respect. They provide monthly reporting back to referral sources like your probation office or the court or your attorney. A certified criminal justice addictions specialist and licensed mental health counselor oversees your program.
The atmosphere is more home-like than institutional and provides a venue that allows you an easier and more pleasant recovery experience. In your program, you’ll learn skills that help you to avoid substance use and recognize the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These skills include coping with stress and anger, goal setting, communication skills and relaxation training to help reduce your stress and improve your quality of life. You will also learn coping skills and how to maintain close and intimate relationships, which are typically crucial in maintaining strong mental health and avoiding drugs or alcohol.
The office is in a convenient location in a handicapped-accessible building, just off Route 41. They are also on a bus route in case you use public transportation. Before beginning treatment, they will speak with you about the charges, which do not include any additional fees. This ensures that you are not surprised by a medical bill.
