More than
22 million people
in the United States have a
substance abuse
problem (including
alcohol
). Nearly eight million individuals have a co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorder. This impacts all of us. Recent estimates put the crime, lost productivity and health care costs of abuse of alcohol and drugs at over
$500 billion
annually.
But there is hope
. With the right treatment services, like those
at Alvis
, individuals with substance abuse and mental health disorders can become healthy, contributing members of our community. Alvis has several specialized, integrated behavioral healthcare treatment programs. The
Amethyst
program provides client-centered recovery services for drug and alcohol dependent
women
and
women with children
. Our
Recovery Choices
program offers holistic,
outpatient and intensive outpatient
treatment services for men and women. This year, Alvis introduced integrated
behavioral healthcare
services designed specifically to meet the needs of
individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities
.
Alvis is proud to be part of the solution
to the devastation substance abuse and mental health disorders have caused for individuals, families and communities. Please
