Get Started with an Evaluation

Sometimes it’s hard to tell when substance use starts crossing a line. The counselors here can help you sort that out with a substance use evaluation. It’s a good way to learn more about your relationship with alcohol or drugs.

Receive Care that Goes Beyond Talk

Their holistic health experts look at the whole person to create a wellness plan that fits each individual. They blend addiction counseling with practical tools you can use every day to be successful in recovery. One client shared that the sessions helped them grow into a better spouse and friend.

Some counselors specialize in trauma, while others bring mindfulness into their sessions. There’s even a counselor who uses expressive arts therapy.

Rebuild Relationships in Recovery

Substance use can strain even the strongest relationships. It’s not uncommon for communication to break down. Couples therapy offers a space to work through conflict and begin rebuilding trust.

Manage Anger

Anger and addiction often go together. Working through anger can be a key part of recovery. Counselors specialize in anger management and can help you figure out where the anger comes from and how to handle it in a healthy way.
