A focus on wellness, hope, and recovery
The Outpatient Behavioral Health Center located at 1285 Main Street on the 1st floor in downtown Buffalo and the Adult and Family Clinic located at 462 Grider Street provide comprehensive care that allows for integrated outpatient services for clients and families. In doing so, we hope that our patients can be part of our community in a safe, healthy manner.
Our care focuses on four important outcomes, depending on each patient’s individual situation:
Focus
Our programs enable patients to stay focused on healing through compassionate, effective treatment and to gain the tools for living a fulfilling, productive life.
Wellness
You may be dealing with a family crisis, stress at work, substance abuse, depression, or a more serious and persistent mental disorder like schizophrenia. Through our programs, you will discover what makes you feel most at peace and how you can use the tools and resources we provide to help you maintain that state of wellness and well-being.
Hope
Hope is key to your recovery and we are dedicated to helping you gain hope to attain or re-gain your life goals.
Recovery
Our programs are designed to help you build on your strengths. Working together, we will help you find the ways to successfully make the steps on the road to recovery.
