Recovery looks different for everyone — and support should, too.

Wyandot Behavioral Health Network is now offering Substance Use Therapy services for youth and adults at our Downtown Wellness Center.

Whether someone is exploring treatment for the first time or continuing their recovery journey, our team works collaboratively with each individual to determine the level of care that best supports their goals and needs.

Community members interested in services at the Downtown Wellness Center can visit Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to complete an intake assessment.

Already receiving other behavioral health services through Wyandot Center or PACES? Talk with your current provider about connecting to Substance Use Therapy services.

If substance use is affecting your life, support is here. Taking the first step can start with a simple conversation.
