We're Planting Seeds, Saving Lives.

For the past 5 years, we have had the amazing opportunity to plant seeds and save the lives of individuals and families seeking help during the hardest times. At Aspire, we believe in the philosophy that the work is done after completing treatment. That’s why we’re dedicated to long-term stability.

Unique Custom Approach

Given the complexity of substance abuse and psychiatric disorders, we recognized that there is not a single method of treatment that is best for everyone. There will not be a cookie-cutter, one size fits all approach to your recovery in our intensive outpatient treatment program. We treat each individual in the best way possible.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

The counselors and therapists at Aspire have an abundance of experience in both substance abuse and behavioral health treatment. We incorporate behavior modification, cognitive thinking, mindfulness skills, 12 step concepts, and many other models depending on each person’s needs and belief system.

Seasoned Staff and Directors

Each director and staff member at each of our locations understand the mission of providing top of the line treatment day in, day out. We hold high regard in having a collaborative and energetic team that’s always excelling and innovating.

5 Signs You’re Enabling Your Loved One’s Addiction

When you have a loved one who is struggling with alcohol or substance use disorders, it is difficult to know how to properly help them. Many people make the mistake of enabling their loved one’s addiction rather than supporting them in their sobriety struggle. These are 5 signs that you may be enabling your loved one to continue their destructive behavior.

What To Expect With Outpatient Treatment

Many people struggling with alcohol or substance use issues may be considering seeking treatment but are often worried that it will impact their ability to work, or go to school, if they go to a residential treatment program. That is why Aspire Counseling Services offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that allows teens and adults to maintain their work and school schedules while they receive treatment. The program is intended as a short-term program that allows patients to continue to work, be at home with family, and maintain much of their daily routine, while still receiving intensive and accountable treatment for substance use or mental health conditions.
