The Counseling Center, Inc.

• Devoted to the prevention and treatment of
  alcoholism and other drug addictions. We promote
  opportunities for individuals and families to
  experience physical, emotional, and spiritual
  recovery through education, counseling, and
  participation in 12 Step recovery groups. We
  know that addiction is a primary, progressive
  disease that is best treated in an environment of
  compassion, understanding, and honest
  self-appraisal.
• We believe in miracles!
