Behavioral Medicine Center

At HealthSource Saginaw, we are driven by the belief that people with severe emotional distress, mental health issues, and addiction can lead fulfilling lives. Recovery isn’t easy; however, surrounding yourself with trained medical and psychological professionals in a healing environment can make the road to recovery easier.

We want nothing more than for you or your loved one to recover, return to school or work, and live an independent, quality life.

HealthSource Saginaw is an integral part of the mental health and substance abuse community. Physicians, schools, emergency departments, first responders, community mental health agencies, and friends and families turn to us for help. Just make the call!
