BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE FOR ADULTS

Adult behavioral health services help clients learn ways to manage anxiety, depression, grief, overwhelm and many other difficult or confusing feelings. Our clients make positive life changes and learn techniques to address situations when things feel out of control. These new skills can contribute to feeling more fulfilled in life and can be applied to family, relationship and work issues.

The cost is $100 per DWI assessment and $100 per DWLR (driving while licensed revoked/suspended) for NC residents. However, cost may vary depending on individual circumstance.
