Clinical Treatment
Professional therapists provide time-efficient individual, family, and group therapy to help resolve psychological problems, reduce psychiatric symptoms, and improve functioning.

Child & Adolescent Treatment
Outpatient services are provided to children and adolescents with family and substance problems or psychiatric disorders. A team of trained therapists and child psychiatrists work with the child and family to increase functioning at home or school.

Chemical Dependency
These services are targeted to those whose chemical use, including alcohol and other drugs, is interfering with their health, relationships, or functioning and to those whose lives are affected by someone else's chemical use.

Continuing Day Treatment
These programs provide time-efficient treatment and rehabilitation designed to maintain or enhance the individual's current levels of functioning and community living skills and to develop self-awareness and self-esteem through the exploration and development of their strengths and interests. We provide individual and group therapy, independent living skills, training, recreational and socialization activities, rehabilitation readiness, and MICA groups.

This program helps adults with psychiatric disabilities set personally chosen goals in working, learning, living, or socializing. Rehabilitation specialists then help these individuals to develop the skills necessary to reach their goals.

We provide a wide range of services in our MICA continuing day and clinical treatment programs, including comprehensive assessments of mental health and substance-related disorders, psychiatric evaluations, medications, group, and individual therapy.
