RIMROCK TRAILS MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THOSE STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE BY PROVIDING TIMELY ACCESS TO COMPASSIONATE AND EFFECTIVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE.RIMROCK TRAILS WAS ESTABLISHED AS A NONPROFIT ADOLESCENT RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM IN 1990. NEARLY 35 YEARS LATER, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO OPERATE ONE OF THE FEW YOUTH RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS IN THE STATE OF OREGON SERVING THE CRITICAL ADOLESCENT POPULATION AGED 12-17 WITH CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS.

THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH ESTIMATES THAT UP TO 60 PERCENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER ALSO SUFFER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS. OUR YOUTH RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM IS SITUATED IN RURAL PRINEVILLE, OR, AND ENCOMPASSES A SPECIALIZED LEARNING CENTER DESIGNED FOR SCHOOL CREDIT RECOVERY, TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY SERVICES, PEER SUPPORT SERVICES AND A VARIETY OF ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON HOLISTIC WELLNESS THAT HELP TO ENGAGE YOUTH IN TREATMENT.WITH MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS OF SERVICE TO YOUTH AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT OREGON, RIMROCK TRAILS HAS BECOME A LEADING PROVIDER OF SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES EXPERIENCING CO-OCCURRING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.
