Our Story

Alvarado Parkway Institute Behavioral Health System

Through the years, we have seen the mental health and addiction landscape shift and change significantly, but our belief in the human spirit’s resiliency has endured. We know that there’s a fulfilling life on the other side of mental illness and addiction. We have made it our mission to help individuals reach that fulfilling life by reshaping our system of care to include a network of affiliated services that are designed to maximize the potential of each individual we serve. Through our Center for Mental Health and Addictive Disorders, we are expanding our network to include not only hospital and outpatient services, but also residential treatment, home health, counseling, and pharmacy services. The addition of these services, our commitment to best practices, and our team of dedicated professionals allow us to realize better outcomes for our clients so that they can live their best lives.
