Our Mission Statement

One small step today can change the course of a family's life forever!

We specialize in helping individuals and families with substance use and other addictive behaviors.

We practice a holistic approach to treatment affecting body, mind, and the environment giving our patients the greatest chance of success.

Care at Family & Addiction Counseling is client rather than model directed. We utilize a variety of biological, psychological, and community-based interventions to help each patient and their family members achieve and maintain their personal treatment goals.

We maintain the therapeutic relationship and are able to treat our clients at every phase of their addiction; during active use, through relapse, towards recovery.
