Group Treatment
United Services promotes a group setting as this provides support from others who have similar experiences and gives an additional level of support in dealing with various life issues. Groups are time limited and availability varies based on the needs of persons-served. We are open to suggestions for new groups and select group topics based on the unique needs of the group as a whole.
