A Holistic Approach to Mental and Behavioral Health For Teens

Various therapeutic methods are used to address both substance abuse and mental health issues and are offered on an outpatient basis, allowing clients to keep up their day to day routine alongside their recovery.

One on one, group and family therapy sessions support teens in resolving conflicts and improving their communication while addressing the root cause of their addictive behaviors and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

The facility is located near various local points of interest, including the lush Bohrer Park. This beautiful green space offers various recreational areas, as well as facilities that can support clients in their healing and recovery activities.
