CND provides outpatient mental health and substance use disorder treatment services to adults, prevention services to youth grades k-12 to reduce substance use and abuse, and violence intervention to youth and young adults.

Mental Health & Substance Use Disorder Treatment

At CND, we treat anyone, regardless of their ability to pay. (you read that right). Our work is successful when we can help people that need help, removing the barriers that interfere with their recovery and by providing individualized treatment sensitive to cultural, gender, and ethnic factors. That’s not all. We have a recovery house, referred through our treatment program, that houses 5 men in recovery.
