What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Regional Mental Health Center provides a full continuum of support, anchored by their up to 28-day Recovery Matters residential program. Clients can transition down through intensive outpatient and halfway housing as they build resilience. The facility also offers comprehensive virtual telehealth services for ongoing counseling and medication management from the comfort of home.
Therapies
Clinicians utilize a robust mix of individual, group, and family therapy to help clients develop coping strategies and rebuild strained relationships. For those in addiction recovery, the facility heavily integrates medication-assisted treatment—specifically Vivitrol and Suboxone—alongside these counseling modalities to support lasting sobriety.
Addictions
Treatment at this facility addresses both substance use and behavioral issues, reflecting their belief that addiction alters brain function rather than simply being a lack of willpower. Whether individuals are seeking help for opioid and alcohol dependency or need support for process addictions like problem gambling, the clinical team tailors care to each unique situation.
Conditions
The psychiatric team provides comprehensive evaluation and medication management for a wide spectrum of mental health diagnoses. They support clients navigating severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. Specialized care is also available for children and adolescents managing ADHD or ADD.
Issues
Beyond specific diagnoses, counselors address the profound life stressors that often accompany behavioral health challenges. The team helps clients navigate major life transitions, grief, and complex family dynamics, while case managers actively assist with practical hurdles like housing instability, legal challenges, and financial stress.
