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.

Get And Stay Sober For Yourself And Your Children

Many people try to convince themselves that their drinking or drug use impacts only them and no one else. The reality is, that if you are abusing alcohol or using drugs it impacts everyone around you, especially your children. If you are suffering from substance use disorder (SUD), then your primary focus is your substance of choice, not your children. Your children will suffer the psychological consequences of your substance use if you don’t achieve sobriety.

5 Signs Your Teen is Depressed

Depression in teenagers has significantly increased over the past few years. According to Mental Health America, nearly 10% of youth ages 11 to 17 suffer from severe major depression. This is why suicide is now the second leading cause of death for ages 5 to 24, with over 5,500 youth committing suicide in 2020. These statistics demonstrate the extreme importance of seeking mental health services for teenagers suffering from depression. As a parent, it is crucial that you understand the potential signs of depression in your teenager, and that simple willpower will not help them overcome depression, they will need mental health treatment. Aspire Counseling Services wants to make sure that parents know the depression signs to watch for in their teens.
