The Morton Center - Specialists in helping families cope with the complex problems of chemical dependency

Mission
The Morton Center is a private, not-for-profit, outpatient counseling facility for the treatment of the disease of alcoholism and other chemical dependencies. It is our mission to provide treatment services, within the limits of our resources, to chemically dependent persons of all ages and to persons of all economic abilities, as well as to the members of their families touched by the disease.

Philosophy
It is The Morton Center’s philosophy that chemical dependency and other destructive, addictive behaviors are primary illnesses that create dysfunction in all family members. Therefore, to create an environment for effective recovery, The Morton Center has championed the wisdom of treating the entire family, including the children, affected by the disease. It is a core belief at the very heart of The Morton Center philosophy.

The Morton Center is the quality alternative for those individuals who either do not have the resources to go into inpatient treatment or can be better served in an outpatient setting. While 97% of our clients are employed, over 50% are experiencing a financial crisis that, in most cases, can be directly attributed to their illness. Thus, The Morton Center provides services, often with financial subsidy, to all chemically dependent individuals and families regardless of their ability to pay.

The quality of our care depends on a caring and empathetic staff who have been trained and educated as professionals in the field of chemical dependency.
