Our programs:
Addiction and substance use disorders can take over your life. We can help you regain control. We have a methadone program, three detox centers, and other substance use programs for adults ages 18 and older. Our specialized mental health providers also offer programs for adolescents with addiction and substance use disorders.
There’s no single cause of mental health problems. Some start at a young age but aren't diagnosed until adulthood. Most mental health issues are caused by a combination of factors. Our programs can help treat and manage your mental health care issues, such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
Autism and other developmental disorders often require life-long mental and behavioral health support. Western Behavioral Health provides a full range of care for individuals from childhood to adulthood.

Older adults can experience mental health challenges for many reasons — from isolation and loss of family and friends to illness, chronic pain, and loss of mobility. Older adults also are at increased risk of dementia and depression. Western Behavioral Health brings decades of experience, research, and care to treat both the mental and physical health needs of older adults.
According to NAMI, 6% of adults in the United States have a severe mental illness. These include bipolar disorder, psychosis, or schizophrenia. We offer you understanding and judgement-free support as you deal with your illness.
