Addiction Medicine – Inpatient detoxification and outpatient treatment including residential services, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, aftercare, and medication-assisted treatment.
We treat addiction as a chronic, progressive and potentially fatal disease. Differences in body chemistry can cause an inability to successfully metabolize mood-altering substances. Individuals whose body chemistry doesn't allow them to successfully metabolize substances must learn to live a life of total abstinence from mood-altering chemicals. Our treatment team members help patients to recover in a dignified manner using four primary treatment goals:
- Education
- Self-diagnosis
- Self-responsibility
- Self-treatment
Successful achievement of these goals culminates in relapse prevention.
Inpatient Psychiatric – Acute crisis intervention with the emphasis on strengthening the individual’s coping skills.
Psychiatric disorders treated include:
- Depression
- Mood disorders
- Anxiety and stress-related conditions
- Psychosis

- Individual and group therapies

Outpatient Psychiatric Services – Medication management and therapy services. Services are provided to adults ages 18 and over.
Neuromodulation services also are available to patients with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as alternatives to taking medications. These services include:
- Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is an FDA-approved non-drug treatment used for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adult patients who have not benefited from medication therapy. TMS is a non-invasive procedure that involves gentle placement of a magnetic coil against the patient’s head. TMS therapy generates a highly concentrated, magnetic field reaching about two to three centimeters into the brain. As TMS magnetic fields move into the brain, very small electrical currents are produced which stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
