Mercy Behavioral Health


Drug and Alcohol Treatment

Mercy Behavioral Health knows that one approach to treating addictions doesn't necessarily work for everyone. Nor do we demand total abstinence as a condition for treatment because we understand how difficult this is to achieve at the start.

We provide a variety of recovery options, including:

  • Addiction Counseling
  • Partial Outpatient
  • Group Counseling
  • Crisis Intervention
  • Dual Recovery
  • Twelve-Step Support
  • Relapse Prevention
  • Intensive Outpatient
  • Individual Counseling


Education and Prevention

Not only do we offer programs for those addicted to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, Mercy Behavioral Health strives, through education, to prevent substance abuse problems.

You may be interested in one of the following programs:

  • Family Education & support for someone, including children who are at least 6 years old, affected by another's substance abuse
  • Presentations to civic and church groups
  • Court-appointed programs for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offenders
  • Intervention for youth who have violated school or juvenile alcohol, tobacco, and other drug policies
  • Education about infectious diseases that can be contracted through shared drug use and on-site testing for HIV/AIDS
  • Parenting Skills to help build self-esteem in children
  • Conflict resolution training for adolescents
  • Support and self development groups for youth affected by issues, such as substance abuse, divorce, grief, loss and changing families
