Adult Substance Abuse Services

Recovery from Alcohol Abuse or Drug Addiction

Clay Behavioral Health Center has substance abuse and prevention programs for adults, children, teens and families. Our programs help individuals reduce their dependence on drugs and/or alcohol and create a healthy, fulfilling and substance-free lifestyle.

Our Philosophy

People who are addicted to drugs or alcohol do not suffer from a lack of willpower or moral deficiency. Their addiction is a disease, which will respond to the proper treatment. Unfortunately, many people who abuse alcohol or drugs do not understand how to manage their illness, or do not know that treatment can help them.

Our Services

Adults receiving services at Clay Behavioral Health Center receive an initial screening or assessment to determine the severity of their substance abuse problem. After the assessment and diagnosis, the client is referred to an appropriate level of care.
