THERAPY AND FAMILY SERVICES
Exceptional Therapeutic Services for Youth.
Ryther’s programming was created to bring greater flexibility in meeting clients’ needs regarding their mental health, SUD, and Co-occurring treatment. We achieve this by individualized treatment planning and treatment options and utilizing creative and experiential therapeutic modalities as well as therapy groups, peers, and case managers
​
Level of care plays a role in the services offered. Level of care is determined by the primary therapist’s clinical judgement, the client’s desires, or motivation for increased services and HEDIS measures.
