Wellness in recovery encompasses someone's whole life, not just their substance use or mental health issues. Because of this, successful mental health and addiction treatment cannot be one size fits all. At Zepf Center, clients have access to the full continuum of care, ensuring support at every stage of their recovery journey.
Zepf Center recognizes the need to treat the whole person and to customize care to fit the client’s specific needs. This means clients are not only offered options for their behavioral health care needs but for their physical and social care needs as well. When people are equipped with evidence-based treatment and recovery supports, they can reclaim their lives and contribute to their families and communities.
Zepf Center’s approach to Integrated Care combines medical care, mental health care and substance use disorder treatment designed to meet client needs and give them the best conditions possible to heal and recover.
When a client begins their recovery journey, Zepf Center’s team works with the client’s primary care physician (PCP) as needed to meet their medical needs. Clients who do not have a PCP have access to on-staff physicians who can treat their medical needs. Zepf Center also offers OB/GYN services, lab services, a pharmacy and hospital liaisons to better serve the physical needs of clients.
After Zepf’s care team connects with a client’s PCP, staff then works with the client to develop an Integrated Care Plan. This plan allows care to be seamlessly coordinated among all providers, both at Zepf Center and with the client’s external providers. Throughout recovery, Zepf Center staff strive to help the client become as healthy as possible — mentally, physically and spiritually.
In addition to integrated care plans, Zepf Center offers many programs and services that embrace and promote the concept of integrated care. These services are vital for clients as access to housing, education, social support, and employment affect the ability to enter and maintain recovery.
Operated at Zepf Center’s Collingwood Ave. location, The Wellness Center facilitates numerous programs for adult and adolescent clients. These unique and diverse programs focus on physical and social health, giving clients exclusive opportunities to gain life-enhancing skills.

PathLabs, Inc. is also housed at Zepf Center's Nebraska Ave. location and provides on-site phlebotomy services. Beyond scheduled appointments, walk-in hours are also in place to ensure that patients can complete lab work that may be vital for their treatment.
