To be effective, we need to understand the whole person. Our work embraces educational, behavioral, rehabilitation, and medical principles. We seek to rapidly relieve and improve symptoms, reduce distress, and assist the person in returning to his or her optimum level of functioning. Positive outcomes depend upon the consumer's active involvement in the development and implementation of the service plan. We work to develop and include the person's natural support system whenever practical.
Quality service produces demonstrable results.
We emphasize intensive coordination and communication between providers in order to assure optimum effectiveness and continuity of care.
