High Focus Centers Holds Open House Event in Evans, Georgia

Evans, GA – May 31, 2023 – Held during Mental Health Awareness Month and attended by a number of community leaders, High Focus Centers’ open house on May 11 highlighted their recently opened Evans, GA outpatient facility. This program offers expanded access to quality mental health, substance use and/or co-occurring disorder treatment for residents of the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).

For over 20 years, High Focus Centers has been at the forefront of helping individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. With a team of experienced and compassionate professionals, the organization offers evidence-based treatments and services aimed at facilitating lasting recovery and improved mental wellness.

The recently opened CSRA facility upholds High Focus Centers’ commitment to exceptional care by providing outpatient and intensive outpatient programs for substance use disorders.
