Addiction and Recovery - The addiction epidemic is rising in our nation. This is a disease that knows no age, race, gender, or socioeconomic status. Center For Family Services offers an array of programs that support those currently in or seeking recovery and their families. Our Addiction and Recovery services were created to treat not just the individual, but also the family. Whether it is an adult or adolescent struggling with addiction, we take similar approaches to getting them clean and sober. Family involvement is strongly encouraged at "sober social" activities. We provide substance use disorder assessment, education, and treatment in an outpatient setting, and individual family sessions as needed. Our Living Proof Recovery Center is at the center of our services, offering a peer-led, volunteer-driven place of support for the recovery community. Peer support is integral to the mission of Living Proof Recovery Center where they offer recovery coaching to members in need of resources like employment, housing, and goal setting. Additionally, free workshops and trainings focused on finding and maintaining your recovery are available almost every day.
Counseling & Behavioral Health - With the vast number of programs we provide for individuals and families, we are able to integrate services to more holistically treat the individual, not just the specific symptoms. Our goal is to provide the foundation for a child, an individual, or a family to develop and follow their own best path to a safe, healthy, and self-sufficient future.

YOUTH SERVICES - Facing Destiny is a clubhouse that offers supportive services to our kids to enhance their educational, vocational and social skills. Our ideal candidate for services are youth ages 12- 17 that are in the early stages of experimenting with alcohol and drug use; decreased in school performances, behavioral problems with school or the juvenile justice system. . Facing Destiny offers meaningful engagement that fosters an environment that will build self esteem and develop the skills needed to avoid risky behaviors as they encounter the challenges they face in school, home, and in the community.
ADULT SERVICES - Alcohol and drug use is the primary issue of child abuse and neglect. When children are removed due to substance use issues they often remain in care longer. Simply Rejuvenated provides services that decrease the statistics by creating an integrated approach that recognizes the obstacles of positive outcomes. When children are removed from the home to ensure their safety; we take pride in providing services to prepare parents with the necessary skills to reunite with their children as soon as possible. Through education and counseling; our participants will remove the barriers that hinder strong, healthy families. We acknowledge the longer a child remains in foster care the less likely reunification will take place.

Were You Able To Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
