Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who needs to be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services during their treatment procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this might seem ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians might be triggered because of the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a facility which can help them resolve these problems and give them the confidence that they've lacked prior to arriving in rehab could be a crucial aspect of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired
