Behavioral Health
Our Behavioral Health outpatient program provides individualized treatment for those who suffer from emotional, behavioral or mental health disorders. Behavioral health challenges can affect relationships, independence, safety and overall well-being.
Our philosophy is “to provide quality care that stresses the importance of dignity, respect, confidentiality, and helping the individual achieve an optimum level of functioning.” Most therapy sessions are in a group format, although individual therapy is provided if clinically indicated.
Who could benefit:

- The person who has not progressed or benefited sufficiently in less-intensive treatment settings.
- The person whose mental health is declining and might require inpatient care unless treatment is provided.
