Outpatient Programs

Mental health challenges shouldn’t define an individual’s life. AHAWC's Behavioral Health programs encompass resources and support to help individuals manage severe and persistent mental health diagnoses as well as substance abuse issues. Each of these programs equips individuals with needed skills and resources to empower them to build their lives and ultimately gain independence.

Outpatient Services provide treatment and support to address symptoms and functioning. This level of care addresses mild to moderate levels of illness or supports sustained recovery for those who have experienced severe or chronic illness and treatment at a higher level of care. Our therapists use a range of modalities that are evidence-based and effective in treating these problems.
