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 mental health center supports children, teens, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, or serious mental illness. It offers individualized care through outpatient therapy, medication management, crisis response, and group programs. Specialized services are available for youth with emotional difficulties, people with both mental health and substance use concerns, and those needing in-home or community-based support. Treatment includes practical, goal-focused approaches that help individuals understand thoughts and behaviors, manage emotions, and recover from trauma. Services may be delivered in person or through secure telehealth sessions. Community programs provide help with housing, food, transportation, and completing essential forms. Crisis care teams and mobile responders offer short-term support and stabilization in homes and other safe environments. Daily care may involve meeting with a therapist, learning coping skills, or seeing a prescriber for medication management. Group sessions encourage connection and peer support. Staff meet clients where they are—at home, school, or in the community—offering consistent, respectful care focused on safety, stability, and long-term recovery.
