Helping people with drug and alcohol disorders get the assistance they need
Substance abuse doesn't discriminate against age, gender, upbringing or class. Chances are, if you don't already know someone whose life has been affected by drugs or alcohol, you will.
Batting a substance disorder can be an ongoing and difficult journey. Fortunately, Vanguard Services Unlimited is here to help.
For more than 40 years, Vanguard has been on the front lines in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction right in our community.

Transitional Programs
For men and women who have just completed a primary residential treatment program, Vanguard's transitional programs offer a safe "next step." Clients reside in supervised housing and begin to face responsibilities of independent living. Clients work or attend job training or school during the day then return to the facility during the evening for life skills training and counseling. Virtually 100 percent of clients who complete the program leave with jobs and their own housing.
