Recognizing it as a chronic illness, we firmly believe in the power of comprehensive care. Our program combines counseling, approved medications, and supportive services, all delivered through a strength-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach.

We address co-occurring disorders, provide essential medical and psychiatric services, offer vocational rehabilitation, and emphasize the importance of family intervention and support.

A Non-Opioid Withdrawal Protocol:

The Parallax Center utilizes a unique detoxification plan, avoids using opioid medications, and allows for the complete achievement of your treatment goals from any analgesic medication. The induction onto naltrexone, an opioid receptor blocker medication, provides rapid restoration of normal brain function, aids in healing the opioid-impaired nervous system.

MILA

have had the best experience at the Parallax Center. I was there 3 years ago and relapsed. The staff is empathetic, kind and understanding.

BRYN

I cannot express enough gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff at Parallax. These highly professional, organized and supremely compassionate people saved my life, my career, and put me back on the path toward regaining my financial, psychological and physical stability. Thanks to them I was able to find the composure and self respect that I'd lost while I spiraled downward into addiction and depression.
