Forrest has forever changed the projection of my life. I attended treatment here for 10 months. Every single staff member is dedicated to their patients wellbeing and success in recovery. I’ve been in therapy and other treatment programs in the past, including a different PHP program where every patient lasted 3 weeks before being sent on their way. The reason I attended Forrest for as long as I did was because I needed to. I needed the intensive routine, care, and combination of individualized support and immersion in a group setting with others also receiving help. Every therapist has their own approach. The diversity of modalities and lessons helped me see my recovery in both big picture and manageable every day wins. Leaving Forrest was bittersweet but I feel confident I can return to the workforce and real life a much healthier version of myself. As long as you’re willing to show up, get vulnerable, and do the work, they’re willing to help you in truly any and every way. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Forrest 🌲🤍

I had a very positive experience with this program. The group facilitators were supportive, created an environment where I always felt respected, and shared practical tools that I know will continue to help me.

I also want to thank Will for all of his help throughout the process. He was always responsive, kind, and made everything much easier to navigate from start to finish.

I recommend this program to anyone looking for professional, compassionate support. I'm grateful for everything I learned and appreciate everyone who helped make this a positive experience.

My experience with Forest Behavior has truly been one of the best decisions of my life. From the very beginning, they created a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where I felt comfortable working through both my mental health and addiction.

The staff genuinely cared about my well-being and gave me the tools, encouragement, and support I needed to grow and heal. They treated me with kindness, respect, and understanding every step of the way.

I am incredibly grateful for everything Forest Behavior has done for me. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel safe, supported, and empowered to make positive changes, I highly recommend Forest Behavior. They have made a lasting impact on my life, and I’ll always be thankful for the care I received.

Called on a Sunday to get information for someone and was simply amazed at the level of care and concern from a staff member Nick. After discovering the insurance would not work there he still went above and beyond to provide any assistance he could to help the situation! Just don't get that type of service much anymore so can only imagine the extent they go to with their patients there.

My partner and I have been seeing him for couples therapy during a really difficult time in our relationship. He does a great job creating space for both people to talk without just taking sides or blaming one person.

The sessions aren’t always easy, but they’ve helped me better understand myself, my partner, and the patterns we get stuck in. I appreciate that he asks real questions and helps move the conversation forward.

I’d recommend him to couples who are trying to work through that really hard stuff!

I highly recommend Forrest for mental health and substance abuse treatment! Many thanks to Forrest Behavioral.

Forrest has truly changed my life. Every therapist and staff member was exactly what I had always hoped to find—compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. I stayed for as long as my insurance allowed because I didn’t want to leave the amazing groups or the invaluable skills and tools I gained during my time there. They prepared me so thoughtfully for the transition, and while leaving was bittersweet, I feel confident and ready thanks to everything I learned. I’m deeply grateful for the care and guidance I received.

Great program for those that struggle with mental health and substance use disorders. I grew up in this area and there wasn’t much offered when I was struggling years ago it’s great to see a good program available to those in need. Owners are great guys very involved and down to earth and have lived this through their own experiences which puts a nice touch on the program itself. Highly recommend!

I was a client for just over four months, and I can honestly say that it's the best PHP/IOP program I've been in. The groups were well-run, informative, and did a great deal to open my mind and clear up some of my mental blocks surrounding my struggles. The individual therapy was incredibly helpful as well. The case management team worked quickly to help me with insurance and benefits, and found a sober house for me when I decided that was the next step.

I never want to need their services again, but I 100% would encourage anyone looking to kickstart their recovery to look at Forrest.

Wonderful staff and great program! Can't say enough wonderful things about everyone here. Very knowledgeable and skilled at helping with every aspect of the process. It was my first time in treatment for addiction and they were very communicative and helpful. They focused not only on the addiction side of my treatment but the mental issues that lead to me chosing my substance.

The facility and program are great but the people who operate it are even better. I spent 3 months in a hybrid in-person/remote program that allowed me the flexibility to participate while managing other responsibilities. I found myself looking forward to the in person days where I’d have the opportunity to interact more personally with the staff and others who were in the program. People were there for a host of different reasons and the staff handled it exceptionally well with the underlying goal of just wanting to see everyone better themself. If you’re willing to make the effort this program and its people are ready to help.

This place is the real deal. I was here for about 3 months. Every single one of the staff is really invested in your recovery and helping you with your life. When your not having a good day or something is off they notice it right away and do anything they can to help. They helped me get my life back on track and checked in with me every single day to make sure I was doing what I needed to do. It was never about money at all with them like it is at other places. I have been gone for an about a month now and I have had multiple people check in on me just because they care. If I didn't have the resources to get help again they would make it work. Your first day there they will make you feel extremely comfortable and the place is very nice and clean. There is truly no other place like this. 10/10

This integrated treatment model recognizes the complex interplay between addiction and mental illness, and seeks to provide comprehensive care that targets both issues simultaneously.  Our licensed therapists aim to treat an individual’s underlying mental health diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder rather than hyper-focus on the substance abuse disorder itself.

The goal is to help clients develop the tools and strategies they need to manage their mental health symptoms, maintain sobriety, and build a strong foundation for ongoing recovery. With the right support and resources, individuals with dual diagnoses can overcome the challenges they face and go on to lead fulfilling, productive lives. 

We are dedicated to providing our clients with the necessary tools and resources to support their long-term recovery from mental health and substance use disorders.
