Substance Abuse
The Harm Reduction Therapy Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing alternative, non-judgmental treatment to people with drug and alcohol problems. It is founded on the principle that substance abuse develops in each individual from a unique interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. Drug and alcohol issues are addressed simultaneously with social and occupational concerns and psychological and emotional issues.
