Your Path To Recovery Starts Here

  
The basic definition of substance use disorder is the repeated use of drugs or alcohol to produce pleasure, alleviate stress, and/or alter or avoid reality, or to self-medicate to treat a mental illness. Misusing substances often leads to an addiction which is characterized by a person’s inability to control the impulse to use drugs, even when the consequences can be harmful to themselves and those around them. Addiction leads to chemical alterations in brain functions and behavioral changes. If you, or someone you know, is dealing with substance use issues, we are here to help.  

Dual Diagnosis Treatment addresses both a substance use disorder and a simultaneously occurring mental health condition. It is important to treat both of these issues together, as they often influence each other. If untreated, substance use can lead to a worsened mental state, while untreated mental health can lead to self-medicating with substances.
