Bringing Balance Back into Life

CORE Program Overview

Effective care and support can make living with a serious mental health or substance use disorder more manageable. Venture Forthe believes that everyone deserves to feel their best. Support from compassionate behavioral health professionals is critical to overcoming barriers and staying in control of daily choices. Those living with a mental health disorder need community based services that focus on providing the full spectrum of assistance required to be contributing members of their communities.

Mental Health/Substance Use Recovery Services

Maintaining control over daily life and choices often takes consistent, repeated effort. Venture Forthe understands that living with a mental health diagnosis can impact the life of an individual and the lives of their family. Our mental health and recovery services are ideal for individuals who have struggled with other treatment and rehabilitation options, and require specialized, compassionate, home and community based care, and support.
