We are here for your success.
Our mission is to provide Jefferson and surrounding counties with a comprehensive treatment program for Opioid and Alcohol Use Disorders that holds both the patient and physician accountable to a higher standard.
Investing in a better tomorrow.
At NuLease we focus on creating an improved patient outcome through a caring environment of medical and behavioral therapies for opioid and alcohol dependency, and to provide an addiction recovery approach that vests patients both psychologically and physically in their outcome. Our program is based on a team approach that puts the patient first by providing required in-house counseling and group meetings. Our counselors see patients with providers to ensure a team approach and encourage accountability for struggling patients.
