CORE Services

Community Oriented Recovery Empowerment

What are Community Oriented Recovery and Empowerment (CORE) Services?

If you have mental health and/or substance use needs, CORE services can help you reach your personal and health goals.

These services used to be available through Adult Behavioral Health Home and Community Based Services. CORE services are easier to get.

CORE services can help you to find and keep a job, go to school, live independently, build relationships, and increase your wellness.
