General Information:

We are a 6 month residential treatment program for adults as well as offer outpatient services. We are vocationally based, meaning that most of our clients work during the day and return in the evening for programming groups. We are a 12-step program which means that all our clients are required to be actively working the 12 steps of either NA or AA. We are a co-ed facility and accept males and females.
