Mission Statement:

To provide comprehensive substance abuse services for persons who are dependent on opioid substances. Our mission is to offer the most effective treatment by providing a caring, compassionate and nurturing environment. Our staff is dedicated, trained and committed to offering only the best individualized treatment from a holistic approach.

Program Philosophy:

Narcotic replacement therapy is one of the most effective forms of treatment for narcotic dependence.  Withdrawal from maintenance treatment is neither mandatory nor indicated in every circumstance.  A patient may remain in treatment for as long as clinically indicated provided that he or she is in compliance with facility rules and regulations.  At any time, a patient may request to undergo medically supervised withdrawal. This procedure is outlined in the Policy and Procedure manuals. Every patient will be encouraged to begin medically supervised withdrawal when patient has satisfied all appointed goals outlined in the course of treatment.  These goals vary from patient to patient and are frequently assessed by the patient, counselor, and the Treatment Team as previously outlined.

In addition to issues of dependency, many patients have other psychosocial, emotional, occupational, medical, legal, and educational needs that must be addressed in order for treatment to be effective long-term.  HealthQwest staff is well equipped to address co-occurring hindrances.  HealthQwest philosophy is to provide all necessary resources and referrals to stabilize and restore the functioning of each patient on an individualized basis.
