The Independence Center provides quality rehabilitative programs, vocational training, and other support services that allow for reintegration into full social functioning, serving effected individuals and their community. 


It is our goal to develop a skilled, dedicated work force that embodies a strong ethic and harnesses positive momentum in order to achieve a lifestyle shift, and in turn, greatness in independence.  


To be referred for membership the referral application must be completed and signed.  Referrals from other community agencies require a current, detailed psycho-social history, a current psychiatric assessment, and a signed release.
