Our Practice

Get to Know Us Better

Second Chance II is a substance abuse and mental health boutique clinic designed to treat and alleviate individuals who suffer from substance and mental health abuse. We believe that it is our mission to be a community-based healthcare organization that offers the highest quality in direct clinical services. In addition, we also believe that successful rehabilitation includes the mind, body and spirit.  At Second Chance II, we will aid those suffering from addiction and dual diagnosis issues by providing clinical appropriate resources, referrals, community support, educational and preventative platforms to further the understanding that their addiction is a public health issue. By doing so, we remove the stigma of addiction and mental health which must be broken so that recovery is possible. We target men and women of all ages who want to change their path from addiction to a path of recovery. We provide housing for all of our clients.

Our goal is to treat, educate and offer proactive and preventative measures to help keep our community healthier, and we work with that idea in mind. Second Chance II has the wellness services you’d like when you’re feeling fine, and the emergency services you need when recovery takes a turn. We are here for you every step of the way!

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

Here For You

Intensive Outpatient Programs are treatment programs used to address addictions, depression and other dependencies that do not require detoxification or round-the-clock supervision. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are an in-depth addiction and co-occurring disorder treatment program that is provided on an outpatient basis.  At Second Chance II, our intensive outpatient treatment programs are beneficial for individuals who suffer from a mild addiction and they have completed inpatient rehabilitation.  We require our clients to attend multiple sessions that last for a few hours each week  and participate in our counseling services.

IOPs establish a treatment plan with defined, measurable milestones in place to indicate progress, and as these milestones are met, the time commitment required from patients each week decreases. Our professional team is here to guide our patients and their families every step of the way throughout their recovery journey.

Outpatient Treatment

Quality Care

Outpatient treatment offers drug, alcohol and substance abuse treatment sessions that can be scheduled during various times throughout the week.  This schedule allows clients to continue with their regular responsibilities.  However, they are required to check into treatment during their allotted times for counseling and medication if needed.

Outpatient treatment programs are an ideal option for individuals who are motivated to stop using their substance of choice but require the flexibility of a program that will work around their schedules. Second Chance II outpatient programs addresses a variety of needs, including situational stressors, family relations, interpersonal relationships, mental health issues, life span issues, psychiatric illnesses and substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors.

Each of our patients are eligible for this personalized service. At Second Chance II, we promise you’ll leave our clinic well-informed, confident, fully supported and encouraged to continue your road to recovery.  We will provide you with the wrap around services needed to operate and re-enter society as a productive member.
