Community Resources
Mental and substance use disorders affect people from all walks of life and all age groups. Nearly one in five Americans in all age groups has some form of diagnosable mental illness. Mental health care is not always easy to access. Sometimes the process is hard to navigate, but the good news is that there are providers in your community to help you navigate complicated systems of care and of insurance.
Sometimes people need to explore a few programs until they find the right fit. Remember we are all different, and we all have different needs. Successful treatment should focus on you and not the program.
