MHA’s Division of Recovery Services (DRS) supports individuals of all ages who are navigating mental health and substance use challenges.

DRS also provides residential and outreach support for adults in recovery or currently living with addiction, many of whom may also experience co-occurring mental health concerns. Through compassionate, trauma-informed care, we help individuals build coping skills, restore stability, and work toward long-term recovery and wellness.
