Counseling Service
We maintain and encourage open communication with every involved person who is willing and able to offer support to our clients. From children, to high-risk teens, to persons in recovery, we serve not only the client themselves, but also the people around them.
The Family Association — a key component of our service — is open to the community and is a network of parents, spouses, guardians and other adult family members. The group meets weekly, providing a supportive venue where loved ones can learn new skills for dealing with the complex issues associated with addiction. Family Association is an especially critical component of our youth services, and for clients in these programs. Parental participation is strongly encouraged.
We also provide support and counseling to significant others and for anyone who is impacted by someone struggling with substance use disorder.
