Hanson House provides clients with professional support while connecting them with additional services supporting the recovery process. Staff provides rehabilitative support, care coordination, vocational and rehabilitation service, and medication management. Treatment aims to help clients understand the personal triggers that lead to addictive behaviors, develop healthy coping skills to deal with those triggers and avoid relapse, educate clients on mental and physical health, and develop vocational skills to get and hold a job.

Treating substance abuse becomes much more difficult when other mental health concerns exist. It’s not uncommon for someone living with a condition like depression to turn to substance abuse as a coping mechanism. Likewise, those caught in the throes of addiction may develop mental illnesses. Co-occurring disorder treatment focuses on addiction and other mental health concerns to reduce the chance of relapse and support a successful recovery.
