By viewing addiction through a whole-person approach, taking into consideration the spiritual and behavioral aspects of recovery, the program helps patients reshape their lives. We also have our Healthy MOMS Program, which assists expecting and new mothers who struggle with this disorder, by providing mothers and their children with tools, treatment, and care.
