Over Seventeen Years of Providing Quality Service to the Community !

Northwest Behavioral Health Services is a non profit,  community based organization.  We are here to help provide new   directions to quality living and healthy lifestyles.  A continuum of care is provided through the agency’s core programs to include mental health and substance abuse outpatient treatment, HIV/AIDS prevention education, counseling and testing, case management, school based initiatives and other community support services.

It is the mission of Northwest Behavioral Health to improve the quality of life for children, adults and families who are experiencing mental health problems, social maladjustment and other at-risk behaviors.  In providing these services the agency seeks to empower these individuals to live meaningful, healthy, and productive lives in their community of choice.
