Every year millions of Americans struggle with a mental health condition, and taking the first step by asking for help is a big move in the right direction. If you or someone you know needs treatment, you’ve come to the right place.  

At Citizen Advocates we treat everyone with dignity and respect. We develop a treatment plan around each person’s individual mental healthcare needs. Whether it is individual counseling, group counseling, medication-assisted therapy or help with employment training and housing, we have the confidential support you need.

Our support is not limited to only mental health treatment. The outpatient clinics of Citizen Advocates were among the first in the state certified for the treatment of co-occurring conditions related to mental health and addiction. The integration of these services allows us to develop an individualized treatment plan that supports the whole person.
