Mental Health
Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network - There’s a good chance many of us will experience an emotional or behavioral problem at some point in our lives. After all, some form of mental illness affects one out of every five American families. And while mental illness is an equal opportunity disease that can happen to anyone at any time, it doesn’t have to take over your life.
At Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, our mission is to provide professional, comprehensive, culturally inclusive mental health and substance abuse services. Not only do we offer the traditional services such as individual, family and group therapy, we also have some services you might not expect. Like acute residential care for adults. Treatment for people challenged by both mental illness and substance abuse. A Clubhouse which supports and empowers people living with persistent mental illness. In fact, we are able to meet just about any level of need through our comprehensive network of services. But it’s the way we put it all together in order to meet the needs of our clients, or consumers – the children, teens, adults, seniors and families we’ve been privileged to serve as a private, nonprofit mental health provider for more than 50 years that really sets us apart.
