The doctors here are part of a national team of mental health specialists who keep up with all best practices and research in the field. They can give you advanced care for addiction and substance abuse. Some of the conditions they treat include nicotine and alcohol addiction, chemical dependency (including illegal drugs and pharmaceutical prescription drugs) and other types of addictions like gambling, shopping, internet, gamin and sex addiction.

They also have dedicated treatment programs like 24/7 emergency care, behavioral health counseling for individuals and families, partial day treatment programs, residential treatment program and inpatient intensive addiction recovery programs.

You’ll work with a doctor to come up with a customized treatment and recovery plan that’s best for your situation. It will likely focus on behavioral therapy and medication to reduce cravings and support any withdrawal symptoms.

Here they believe that being diagnosed with a mental health condition increases your odds of experiencing substance use problems or what’s called dual diagnosis. If you have co-occurring conditions then they’ll help you. Some of the mental health disorders you could have in addition to addiction include PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression or mood disorders, personality disorders or schizophrenia.

If you’re experiencing a mental health emergency, severe emotional distress or are a danger to yourself or those around you then they have an 24/7 emergency care unit waiting to help. This unit also helps clients who overdose. They also operate an around-the-clock suicide and crisis hotline.
