Addiction Services offers a variety of programs, both day/evening and residential. SUNTRAC offers an all inclusive outpatient Addiction Treatment Program for males over the age of 19. Innovative group sessions are offered with the option of day or evening classes for the duration of 8 weeks in the Core Program. The outpatient treatment program allows alcohol and drug treatment clients the flexibility to work and accomplish recovery goals while residing in their home setting in the community. Professionally trained addiction workers equip and support individuals through specialized assessments and treatment plans to identify issues and triggers to prevent relapse. Clients progress through a series of phases designed to offer a continuum of treatment. These phases include Assessment, Pre-treatment, Core Program and Aftercare.

Who do you turn to when someone you love is struggling with addictions and you feel like your life is falling apart?
Kathryn came to the mission terrified and angry, feeling alone and without hope. She could think of nothing to do that would help her son. Jason was struggling with addiction and mental health issues, and Kathryn did not know where to turn.
