ABOUT ALLIED TREATMENT CENTER

Allied treatment center is non-profit organization (501C3) that was founded in 2005 by two counselors involved with working in the community for 30 years. The primary mission at Allied Treatment Center is to provide individuals who are struggling with domestic violence, addiction, anger, and etc... a fair chance to recover from their issues regardless of their beliefs, backgrounds, goals and lifestyles. We understand that addiction is a disease, domestic violence, anger, and etc… which affects not only the individual seeking services, but also his/her family. We see recovery as a journey which must be completed by the individual and his/her family under the guidance of professionals in the field. We aim at recovering the family as a whole. Allied Treatment Center is serving the community by education and coaching families to break cycles (i.e., Domestic Violence, Addiction, Anger Management, Co- Parenting, Gang Affiliation) that have kept these families from reaching stability and have impacted generations. Allied Treatment Center’s staff is committed to be of service and willing to extend themselves by applying their vast experience, ongoing education and training as well.
