Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

This provider delivers structured inpatient, outpatient, and day treatment for adolescents, adults, and older adults managing depression, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. The care team offers intensive outpatient program (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) with same-week admissions and flexible scheduling. Therapists lead group sessions that strengthen coping skills, emotional regulation, and communication. Psychiatrists manage medications when needed. Clinicians design individualized plans that may include expressive therapies such as art and music, mindfulness practices like yoga and tai chi, and weekly family therapy. The team applies evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches throughout each stage of care. Staff provide transportation assistance, ensure consistent daily structure, and support teens with on-site academic coordination. Discharge planners begin preparing aftercare early, connecting participants with trusted community providers to continue progress after the program ends.
