Recognizing the Need for Change

If you or a loved one is struggling with the excessive use of alcohol, pain medications, or illegal drugs that's causing harm to your health, relationships, or well-being, hope and help are available. Our substance abuse treatment provides a compassionate path to recovery for adolescents (ages 6+) and adults ready to regain control.

Our Integrated Approach to Addiction Recovery

We provide holistic, evidence-based substance abuse treatment that addresses both addiction and any underlying mental health conditions. Our board-certified PMHNPs combine specialized therapy to explore root causes and develop healthier coping mechanisms with medication management when appropriate to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This comprehensive approach empowers you with the tools and support needed to build a foundation for lasting sobriety.

What to Expect in Your Recovery Sessions

Your sessions are a safe, nonjudgmental space focused on your recovery. We'll begin by discussing your substance use patterns, triggers, and the specific challenges you face. Together, we'll develop personalized strategies to manage cravings, prevent relapse, and rebuild a healthy daily routine. Sessions integrate therapy techniques, practical coping skills, and, when beneficial, discussions about how medication can support your journey toward long-term recovery.

Common Outcomes: Reclaim Your Life from Addiction

Clients who commit to their treatment plan typically achieve:

  • Significant reduction in cravings and substance use.
  • Improved physical health and emotional stability.
  • Restored relationships and social functioning.
  • A renewed sense of hope and control over their life.

“Merlin is incredibly helpful & pleasant to talk with!“

Merlin is not only incredibly helpful, but very easy and pleasant to talk with as well. I’m sure each case is different for each person, but from our first meeting after a brief discussion she was able to provide a meaningful solution for my needs. She’s worked with me multiple times to tailor alternatives when needed and has been quick to respond and be available whenever I’ve needed to contact her.

"Rhoda went ABOVE & BEYOND"

"Rhoda & her team are excellent!  Our first meeting was virtual & she just got to know me & found out what I needed from her. The next meeting was in person, and because I’d just started a new job & couldn’t take off she went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure she was able to see me. She’s kind & understanding & I will continue to see her."
