The center holds a multi-service psychiatric license in addition to a Substance Abuse license, which facilitates treatment for clients with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment is offered in both the day and the evening hours, and runs four times per week, three hours each day, Monday through Friday. It is designed for the client who needs more structured and frequent treatment. This program for adults (18 years old and above) employs highly structured group therapy with cognitive-behavioral approach that includes stress management, family processes, role playing, and relapse prevention skills.

Outpatient Treatment is designed for clients who are in need of treatment but who also have the skills and support to recover without the need of a higher level of treatment. Outpatient service provides weekly individual, group and family counseling. Specialty groups provide anger management, relapse prevention, aftercare and gender specific treatment.
