Capital Area Counseling Services (CACS) helps people struggling with mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. They offer outpatient counseling, psychiatric care, and crisis intervention for individuals of all ages. With specialized programs like CARE Services for adults and Systems of Care for youth, CACS provides personalized treatment and strong community support. CACS uses evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and moral reconation therapy (MRT) to help clients manage emotions and build coping skills. Outpatient counseling includes individual, group, and family sessions, while support groups aid in addiction recovery. Their approach connects clients to internal and community resources for well-rounded, long-term healing. Programs like Therapeutic Foster Care provide stable homes for children with emotional and behavioral needs. Adolescent mental health groups teach skills to manage aggression, emotions, and decision-making. CACS is also dedicated to suicide prevention through the Zero Suicide initiative, ensuring individuals receive the care and support needed for safety and recovery.
