ADDICTIONS WE TREAT

Opioids, liquor, prescription drugs, even common household cleaners have something in common: when abused, they become addictive. These and other substances are referred to as psychoactive, meaning they affect our mental states by altering how our nervous systems and brains work.

Addiction affects performance at work and school, creates new health problems (and makes existing ones much worse), and can result in serious injury or even permanent disability. Unfortunately, addiction often occurs hand-in-hand with a dual diagnosis, which is a substance use disorder combined with a co-occurring mental disorder.

Substance abuse and addiction is a crisis problem in the U.S. – according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021 marked the first time drug overdose deaths exceeded 100,000 in 12 months.
