Keeping Your Care Close to Home
Our treatments work alongside ongoing mental health care, and they do not replace it. To be eligible, patients work with a qualified mental health practitioner and provide a current evaluation. Most Marion-area patients keep their existing therapist or prescriber near home, and we coordinate with them throughout treatment.
