Interlink staff is interested in working with homeless, chemically-dependent, or dual-diagnosed persons. We administer to human needs but understand that no one person or group can be all things to all people. We are committed to enlisting the services of other concerned persons and groups in an effort to provide the best possible care and treatment to those we serve.

Depending upon individual client requirements, we offer counseling services ranging from basic screening to assessment to the delivery of services either in individual, group, or long-term residential settings.

Interlink’s staff offers outpatient counseling for families and individuals. We believe in recruiting, developing, promoting, and recognizing an honest and competent workforce in a fair and equitable manner. Interlink’s work environment promotes participative management to develop trust and encourage motivation and creativity.
