Our
Organization
was
founded in 1969 so that Norfolk residents with mental health, mental
retardation, and substance addiction problems could be treated in the community
where they lived, surrounded by their family and friends.
As
the years have passed, more and more emphasis has been placed on community
treatment. Emphasis placed there by consumers themselves, by their loved ones
who want to be nearby, by the professionals who feel that patients progress
better in familiar surroundings, by advocacy groups that rally for the rights of
the disabled, and by the government which oversees the welfare of the people we
treat.
Today
we provide treatment and rehabilitation services to over 6,000 Norfolk
residents. Many of the people who come to us will need services for a long
time––maybe even throughout their lives. Others will just need someone to
monitor their medication. Most will have needs that fall somewhere in
between.
In
whatever manner people come to us, we assure their full participation in
decisions about what services are appropriate to their individual needs and
circumstances. We are dedicated to providing those services in the least
restrictive environment possible, usually at one of our four treatment sites,
and sometimes in their own homes.
We present the information on these web pages to you
so that you may share in our successes and the triumphs of the people we serve.
