Substance Use Outpatient Treatment Team
Through a range of services, the Substance Use Disorder Outpatient Treatment Team at KernBHRS works with each client, both with youth and adults, to develop a personalized plan to help them overcome their problems with substances. Clients learn to identify their triggers and also receive the confidence and resources to handle their substance use issues.
While taking the first steps into sobriety can be overwhelming, our dedicated staff will be with you every step of the way. Our mission is to help you reach any goals you set for your recovery, including rebuilding personal relationships, finding employment, going back to school and more.
