As a Level 3.7 Residential Enhanced program, the center provides intensive on-site clinical services for adult men experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions.

Stays typically range from 30 to 45 days depending on medical necessity, allowing each individual adequate time to stabilize and begin working toward long-term wellness.

Treatment is facilitated by a multidisciplinary team consisting of an APRN specializing in co-occurring disorders, licensed clinicians, group facilitators, and Peer Recovery Specialists. Clients reside in small apartment-style housing that promotes privacy and independence while benefiting from communal recreational amenities such as a weight room, pool table, air hockey, and basketball court. The center focuses on a person-centered approach that encourages clients to strengthen their support networks, prepare for reentry into the community, and access additional long-term treatment when appropriate.
