Who Are We?

We at Pine Rest believe in the power of healing and that everyone in our community has the right to expert care for mental health and substance use disorders.

We are a tight-knit community of healers who witness the impact of our life‑changing work each day.

We are closing gaps in access to care, innovating through leading‑edge research, testing, programs, and treatment modalities that others replicate across the country. Our services include a state‑of‑the‑art psychiatric urgent care center and a soon‑to‑be‑built pediatric behavioral health center, as well as outpatient, inpatient, partial hospitalization (day programs), assessment and testing, residential, addiction treatment and specialty services such as crisis response, employee assistance programs, forensic psychiatry and psychology, and neuromodulation.

On‑the‑job educational programs for nurses, psychologists, advanced practice providers, psychiatrists, and chaplains are equipping the next generation of care providers.
