As one of the first in-home addiction treatment providers in the country, we are an excellent fit for those struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress who want to remain engaged in positive forces in their lives (work, family) while they recover.

Of course, there should not be a one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment, as you have unique needs and goals.
