Pretreatment doesn’t commit you to a program — it opens options. Whether it’s individual counseling, family sessions, or group therapy, pretreatment helps you find the right fit.
🌟 Every recovery journey begins with a first step.

Early recognition means early support.

Parents: You are the #1 influence on your child’s choices. The ‘Talk. They Hear You.’ campaign shows how small conversations today can prevent substance use tomorrow.

Protective factors matter. Strong family bonds, positive role models, and healthy coping skills reduce risk for substance use.
✨ Prevention isn’t just saying ‘no.’ It’s helping kids say ‘yes’ to healthier choices.

What is pretreatment? It’s the very first step before counseling or group therapy.
Pretreatment helps you share your story, explore your needs, and build a plan that fits you — without pressure. It’s a safe doorway into recovery and mental health care.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) states that one in every three people will develop a clinically significant alcohol problem at some point during their life. Additionally, they state that one in eight people will become dependent upon alcohol. Further, 23.5 million people over the age of 12 sought treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction in 2009 - the number is thought to be increased since that time.
The Morton Centers mission is to provide help and support to individuals and loved ones in breaking the cycle of substance abuse. Our evidenced-based treatment model focuses on the family and other support systems to mitigate the far-reaching effects of alcoholism, drug abuse, and other diseases of substance abuse.
The disruption that occurs within families when substance use is a factor cannot be ignored. Substance abuse and the effect on families remain poorly understood in our popular culture, despite volumes of scientific data authenticating their presence, causes, devastating costs and consequences, the effectiveness of treatment and the possibility of long-term recovery. Our family-based program realizes that recovery is rarely a solitary event. Individuals in recovery need support, love, and encouragement from those closest to them. Yet sometimes those closest to the client intentionally or unintentionally jeopardize long-term recovery. In part because they have not had the opportunity to learn about the disease and the recovery process. They need education on how they can be most helpful in supporting their loved ones in recovery. Providing a community-centered culture is paramount to The Morton Center’s model of care. The strength of family and community support has an undeniable impact on the addicted individual’s life and chances for recovery.
Friends like you help us ensure that individuals and families are never denied the treatment they so desperately need, because of lack of funds.
At The Morton Center, we know that substance abuse shatters families. But compassionate people like you help bring them back together again.
Will you consider giving the gift of Recovery? YOUR support makes Recovery Possible!!
