What the Program Is

Co-occurring Therapy addresses both mental health and substance use together—not as separate issues, but as intertwined parts of your story. This specialized group provides dual-focused support that reflects the reality of living with more than one challenge.

Led by trained professionals, this program helps you develop tools to manage symptoms, reduce harmful patterns, and move toward long-term healing—mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally.

Is This Program Right for You?

This program may be a good fit if you:

  • Have a diagnosed mental health condition alongside substance use
  • Struggle with anxiety, depression, or trauma while in recovery
  • Feel that past treatments ignored part of your experience
  • Want to avoid cycles of relapse and emotional overwhelm
  • Need a space where both mental and behavioral health are prioritized

What to Expect

Each session combines psychoeducation, clinical tools, and supportive discussion. Topics include emotional regulation, relapse prevention, trauma triggers, and integrated coping strategies.

Groups are structured but flexible, and participants are encouraged to share at their comfort level. You’ll build skills, reduce shame, and begin to understand the full scope of your mental and emotional needs.

How This Program Helps

By treating both mental health and substance use in one place, you don’t have to choose between getting sober and staying emotionally well. This approach reduces isolation, provides continuity of care, and helps prevent the "revolving door" of treatment.

You’ll walk away with real-world tools and a better understanding of how to move forward with both compassion and structure.
