OCG provides services for those who seek help with life's difficulties compounded by substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. OCG has been providing substance abuse and mental health services since 1988.

An essential part of OCG's continued growth is the financial support given to us by individuals, corporations and foundations. OCG is a non profit, 501(c)3 organization.

Separate and individualized programs are available for adolescents, adults, and all family members. Substance abuse and mental health issues disrupts people's lives and the lives of those who care about them. OCG seeks to heal the whole individual as well as the client's family and social network. Issues such as emotional well being, physical health, education and work preparedness are all part of restoring our clients and their loved ones to health.

OCG is based on a Strength Based Therapeutic Community (TC) concept: a highly structured and nurturing family environment where positive peer interaction is emphasized, and a clients skills, needs, abilities, and preferences are taken into account during treatment planning.

The staff consists of professionals in the fields of psychology, social work, medicine and education, paraprofessionals, as well as OCG graduates who have gone through intensive training and / or certification in counseling.

The adolescent program does accept private insurance. The primary insured is responsible however, for ensuring that OCG as a provider, and its services, are covered benefits under the primary insured's plan.
