OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy at Sage Prairie is adapted from the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) working definition of recovery.
Sage Prairie offers individualized pathways to recovery from disorders related to substance use and mental health. To accomplish this, we assist each individual to undergo a process of change through which each patient is given the tools and resources to improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
SAMHSA has delineated four major dimensions that support a life in recovery.
