Our goal is to:

4. Restore and/or improve functioning
5. Support integration into the community

Our Lakeland Service Center offers a combination of individual sessions and group treatment for a minimum of 12 weeks, depending on the needs of the individual using best-practice, comprehensive treatment to assist adolescents and adults with the needed tools and treatment. Each person served receives a thorough assessment to determine the individual’s needs and how to best meet those needs. Participants each create a Personal Recovery Plan during treatment and drug screens are administered as is clinically appropriate. Upon completion of the program, supports will be put in place to prevent relapse and assist in continued recovery.
