Tested and Proven Recovery

Mental health professionals use different treatment strategies to help people who are experiencing mental health problems.

Some treatments have research support in the scientific literature and other treatments have less or even no research base supporting them. Therapists who use treatment approaches based on the scientific literature rely on evidence based practice. When the term evidence based practice is used, it means that the specific treatment has been closely studied, has shown to be an effective treatment, in repeated studies, and typically involves the use of treatment manuals.

Substance Abuse/Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program

The co-occurrence of substance use and psychiatric disorders is the norm, not the exception, for those addicted to alcohol and / or drugs. In fact, psychological research has shown that people exposed to stress are more likely to engage in drug and alcohol abuse, continue using, or to experience a relapse. This means that for a successful recovery, both the addiction and the mental health issues must be adequately treated.
