Centerstone Integrated Addictions Care and our 3 Promises

Centerstone’s Integrated Addictions Care seeks to equip people who have complex healthcare needs. Though various collaborations, clients are connected with tools, skills, and community connections they need to take action to engage in recovery activities, improve their physical health, improve their mental health, and enjoy life.

Developed by Centerstone’s Center for Clinical Excellence in collaboration with affiliated Centerstone leaders and experts, Centerstone’s Integrated Addictions Care is the suite of services we provide to individuals with mild to severe substance use disorders and/or co-occurring disorders. Services are based on an individual’s level of need per the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria.

Services provided within the Centerstone Addictions Care suite are adapted to client needs and are provided by one treatment team that offers specialized care within our integrated care clinical pathway. This pathway is designed to provide services for clients with substance use and/or co-occurring disorders that cause preventable ER visits, hospitalizations, involvement with the legal system, are interfering with the client’s ability to seek employment, and impacting the client’s quality of life.
