Quest Center's philosophy is based in the belief that people thrive when their physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs are effectively met. The foundation of all our programs are rooted in a community model, recognizing the important role that receiving and giving support to others can play in the effort to make lifestyle changes. All Quest Center programs share the same philosophy, mission and values, but each honors the diversity of its participants and pull from a wide range of treatment options to heal the whole person.
The Nurturing Empowerment and Well-being (NEW) program integrates state of the art mental health care from a wide variety of disciplines.
