Our treatment center at Millcreek in Mississippi also remains steadfast in living up to the values that we hold true for those we work with. Our values at our treatment facility are:

• Community presence: We believe that each person should be given the opportunity to participate in activities in their natural contexts, such as in restaurants, shopping malls, the YMCA, community employment, and in their own homes.
• Community participation: Each person, regardless of whether or not developmental or intellectual disabilities are present, should be involved in the same types of activities as their peers.
• Dignity: Each person should be given support in mobility and movement to allow them to be recognized as striving and productive members of society. Each person’s eating, dressing, and hygiene needs should be addressed in the most respectful manner.
• Choice: Each person, regardless of the severity of limitations that result from intellectual or developmental disabilities, should have as much control over their own environment as possible.
• Contribution: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are fully capable of, and do, make contributions to all areas of our society and should be fully recognized for those contributions.
