Quality – Encouraging Best Practice treatment approaches and meeting standards by

actively providing ongoing staff training and promoting professional development and growth so that personnel are competent and exhibit a high degree of professionalism while making available information and support so as to equip staff to pursue excellence and innovation in service provision.

Professionalism – Expecting staff to demonstrate integrity; behave ethically; adhere to organizational values; and exhibit courtesy, compassion, and respect toward the people we serve and with whom we work.

Person Centered –Focusing on the individual, family, friends, caregivers and other supporters of recovery with proficient service in a safe, warm, and least restrictive therapeutic environment possible and recognizing that those we serve deserve to live fulfilling and meaningful lives of their choosing.

Recovery – Spreading the message that people struggling with a behavioral health, addictive disease, or developmental disabilities diagnosis do have hope for recovery. Recovery is something worked towards and experienced by the person with such a diagnosis. It is not something services can do to or for a person.

Recovery is for everyone.
