Educational Information Only

The content on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Content related to addiction, alcoholism, drugs, recovery, treatment, co-occurring mental health concerns, family recovery, or related topics is not medical advice, mental health advice, legal advice, or emergency advice.

Website content should not be used as a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, legal guidance, crisis services, or individualized professional advice.

No Provider-Patient Relationship Created by Website Use Alone

Visiting the website, reading website content, sending a general website message, or submitting a non-clinical website form does not by itself create a provider-patient, counselor-patient, therapist-patient, or other treatment relationship with Dilworth Center.

Any treatment relationship is subject to separate intake, screening, consent, clinical, and administrative processes.

Emergency Situations

The website is not intended for emergency communications. If a person is experiencing a medical emergency, mental health emergency, overdose, or any situation requiring immediate help, that person should call 911, contact emergency services, or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

No Guarantee of Results

Recovery experiences vary from person to person. Any discussion of outcomes, success, patient experiences, educational material, treatment approaches, or community resources is provided for informational purposes only and does not guarantee any specific result or outcome.
