About Us

Get to Know Arbor Place

We hold the basic belief in the dignity and worth of each human being. We recognize that this sense of dignity and self-worth often is lost or suffers when individuals are struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. One of the primary goals of Arbor Place, Inc. is to insure the right of self-determination, the ability to regain control over one’s life, and the individual’s re-involvement in the family, the family of the community and society within a lifestyle based on recovery.

For you and your loved ones

Our Mission

The mission of Arbor Place, Inc. is to provide prevention, treatment, and renewal opportunities to individuals, families, and communities impacted by substance use and mental health disorders.
