More Than Just Medical Care

Our social work programs support patients throughout the recovery journey. We understand that rehabilitation goes beyond medical care, which is why our licensed clinical social workers address our patients’ and their families’ emotional, social, and logistical needs. We offer comprehensive and empowering care to individuals, couples, families, and groups in need of counseling, crisis intervention, case management, and advocacy.

Whether assisting with resource coordination, providing counseling, or tackling challenges like housing and financial planning, we’ll help you every step of the way. At Sage, we’re helping patients build a strong foundation for long-term success beyond just physical recovery.
