Comprehensive. Compassionate. Healthcare.
We provide comprehensive, compassion-based care for adults (18 +) seeking treatment for substance use disorders (SUD) and eating disorders wherever they walk in life. Our patients receive thorough screening, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with availability of 24 hour on-call care. Our small, private practice creates a welcoming, personalized treatment environment without stigma.
Our treatment approach is to partner with you to help you develop a long-term approach to health and wellness. Our method blends primary care-based Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) with psychosocial nursing interventions and recovery coaching. We will utilize collaboration with other medical and mental health professionals as well as community based holistic programming. We individualize your care based on past experiences and your current goals. Although psychosocial counseling is obligatory, we do not mandate participation in onsite groups.
