On the mental health side, listed services include crisis services, counseling and family services, psychiatry, prevention, and recovery support. Substance use services listed include crisis services, residential treatment, outpatient treatment, medication assisted treatment and recovery, medically monitored detoxification, and ambulatory withdrawal management. Prevention services are described separately and include overdose awareness, harm reduction, naloxone, gambling, and community education. A gambling program is named under prevention services.

Support services listed on the site include housing, support services for veteran families, recovery support, a pregnant and postpartum program, and insurance enrollment assistance. Primary care offerings referenced include behavioral health integrated with primary care, psychiatry, lab and pharmacy services, and school-based services. The site also references community partnership work, including a MetroLink transit project and community health workers.

Chestnut identifies itself as an FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center) and a CCBHC (Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic), and maintains pages describing its approach to care, locations and hours, data and reports, and collaborators. Walk-in hours are advertised for behavioral health assessments at certain locations. Regarding cost, the site states that it accepts insurance, offers sliding fee discounts, and works to make care accessible to all.

Research is conducted through the Lighthouse Institute, which houses centers including the GAIN Coordinating Center, the Center for Implementation Science, an Evidence Based Practice Center, the JEAP Research Center, a Family Coaching Center, and a National Native Center of Excellence. The Institute also hosts the William White Library, a collection of publications on addiction history and recovery.
