Why Whitehorse?

We define recovery as a return to a balanced state of health, mind, and strength. Our clients are in recovery from numerous types of life events.
We treat individuals with a holistic approach addressing the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, legal, and educational aspects of our clients’ lives.
We provide a safe environment and unbreakable support for individuals to begin, continue, or restart their recovery journeys.
Our team is diverse and has empathy and compassion for those in all types of recovery. We provide a safe, supportive environment for clients and their families. We realize individuals struggling with mental health concerns and substance misuse are our parents, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, and co-workers and, likewise, are represented by all those on White Horse Recovery Team.
We accept most insurances, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and have a sliding scale fee for those without insurance. No one will be turned away for inability to pay for services. Everyone is treated equally and accepted as they are.
