Prevention
Our Prevention Program goal is to provide education about the health and impairment risks of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, as well as, developing drug resistance skills.  Our licensed prevention educators work with area schools and community organizations to provide evidence-based curriculum to encourage low risk drug choices, reduce the stigma of drug related issues and encourage self-regulation, confidence and resiliency.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.  EMDR therapy shows that the mind can heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.  Using the detailed protocols and procedures learned in EMDR therapy training sessions, clinicians help clients activate their natural healing processes.

Families
​Many people don’t know much about addiction and mental health—that is, until it strikes a loved one. A supportive, understanding family is a vital asset in recovery. Our Strengthening Families Program educates families that addiction and mental illness isn’t a choice, but a disease that can be overcome through treatment.
