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


Our goal is to develop a skilled, dedicated workforce that embodies a strong ethic and harnesses positive momentum 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.
