Pathways treatment center’s top priority is our clients and staff. Because of this we want our clients and staff to be safe from the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). We will follow guidelines for how to handle signs and symptoms that are provided by the department of health. Pathways staff has been educated about monitoring any signs and symptoms and reporting them to medical personnel. Medical staff has insured that they are following the department of health and CDC guidelines and will report any incidents to their local health department.
We are currently accepting patients into our residential and intensive outpatient programs. We also are taking increased precautions. Pathways has implemented a full scale infection control plan including the following:
Increased housekeeping procedures for infection control.

Staff has been instructed to perform continuous disinfection of surfaces and other areas where infection can be transmitted, i.e, door knobs, light switches, etc.
