Outpatient services include individual therapy, group counseling and specialized DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluations for individuals returning to safety sensitive work roles after a drug or alcohol violation.
The center’s DBT program offers skills training and weekly individual therapy for adults and teens, addressing emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
