SWIAD鈥檚 multidisciplinary team of licensed professionals not only strive to provide the highest quality of care, but also seek to empower clients to work toward their goals and live healthier and more fulfilling lives by building and utilizing their own strengths and resources.
Mission
To improve the life quality of those with chemical dependency and mental health needs through the provision of comprehensive behavioral health care services, while concurrently providing opportunities for health professions training and research.
Vision

Services
SWIAD鈥檚 staff of qualified professionals includes professional counselors, chemical dependency counselors, and marriage and family therapists. The team takes a patient-centered approach to treatment that includes physical, psychological, and social dimensions, particularly as substance abuse and addiction rarely occur in isolation from other concerns.

- Screening and Assessment
- Individual, Group, Relational, and Family Counseling
