Addictive Diseases The primary focus of addiction treatment is the discontinuation of addictive substances by the consumers. Chemical dependency is a primary, progressive, chronic and potentially fatal disease which is treatable. It is an illness that affects the physical, mental and spiritual areas of the addicted person's family, social, and occupational well being. Recovery from addiction is an ongoing process which includes abstinence and the treatment of the whole person.

Services keep consumers actively involved in planning their lives and participating as members of the community at home and at work.
