We assess and treat each part of the individual and utilize the best available treatment that will be the most effective. Through the use of an environmental toxin removal program, orthomolecular supplementation, and naturopathic treatments, residents work to restore balance to their brain chemistry, thereby reducing symptoms and reducing the need for medications and other substances.
