Substance misuse treatment can help you mend
what is broken. Recovery can be yours.
Fremont Counseling Service offers various levels of outpatient treatment using a mix of individual, group, and family counseling for teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing addiction challenges and other problems related to substance misuse. The goal of substance misuse treatment is to help people develop and maintain sobriety in their recovery from addiction to alcohol or other drugs.
