What are Heritage's services?
Everyone faces challenges in life. Whether it's the child learning to express her fears and anger after being placed in foster care, the young man struggling to support his family while conquering addiction, or the older woman next door coping with the loss of her husband, Heritage Behavioral Health Center will be there for those in need-making the whole community stronger. We closely manage our organization while offering the most thorough prevention, mental health and addiction services in the community.
Our services cover young children through adults and reach people where they live, work and go to school. Last year we touched over 5,000 men, women and children helping them turn their lives that were often filled with fear, helplessness, hopelessness, into one of hope, healing and health.
We do this with our competent, caring, compassionate staff who have a core belief in people’s ability to reclaim their lives, they encourage, support, teach skills, and provide HOPE to our communities most vulnerable citizens – sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandmothers and grandfathers.
