Conditions We Treat: Substance Use & Co-Occurring Disorders

When you have a substance use or co-occurring disorder, you want professionals who know the best way to approach your needs, both physically and mentally. Here’s a look at the conditions we treat using our measurement-based approach and personalized treatment planning methods.

Measurement-Based Care for Emotional, Mental & Physical Wellbeing

What Former Patients Are Saying

“We attended every meeting the PaRC had to offer. It only took a few visits to begin feeling lucky…lucky that our son was in a safe place, lucky that he was willing to see us, lucky that he wasn’t running away and lucky that he was alive.”

V.M., parent of former patient

“I was at my end…losing everyone and everything I loved and had worked hard for… Situations in my life finally came to a roaring boil and into the PaRC I went… I have been sober for three years now. I am a proud alumnus of the PaRC.”

L. M., former patient

“I have a life today that has dimension, and I get to be active in all kinds of ways that I wasn’t before…[after treatment, I’m] productive in my profession, in my community and in my family.”
