A person with multiple mental health diagnoses, such as addiction and depression, has co-occurring disorders also called dual diagnosis.

Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.

Consistent relapse occurs repeatedly, after partial recovery from addiction. This condition requires long-term treatment.

Opioids produce pain-relief and euphoria, which can lead to addiction. This class of drugs includes prescribed medication and the illegal drug heroin.

Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.

A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.

Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.

Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.

Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.

Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Patients can connect with a therapist via videochat, messaging, email, or phone. Remote therapy makes treatment more accessible.

Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.

Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.

Combined with behavioral therapy, prescribed medications can enhance treatment by relieving withdrawal symptoms and focus patients on their recovery.

Relapse prevention counselors teach patients to recognize the signs of relapse and reduce their risk.
