Region V Case Management

We believe case management services should be pragmatic, client driven and culturally sensitive to the individuals. Our approach emphasizes respect, independence and self-empowerment.

Case Management offers the client a single point of entry into the health and social service system. When dealing with individuals with a substance use disorder and diverse services, the need to promote their best interest is paramount. Our goal is to serve as a liaison and provide guidance, support and advocacy throughout the community-based social service system.
