Our Story

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.
