The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 1 substance or condition category treated (General substance use disorders), and 7 clinical treatment approaches (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Couples/family therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use & mental health listings in Alabama: it reports 42 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 9% of 189 facilities statewide (state median: 32).
