Military Families Support Services

Cedar Ridge is pleased to offer its Patriot Support Program serving family members of the U.S. military. The program offers specialized behavioral health and substance use treatment specifically designed for the needs and challenges of military dependents (children and adolescents ages 6 to 18).
