Addiction and Substance Abuse
Addiction is treatable and you don’t have to do it alone. Substance use disorder (SUD) is a medical condition that changes how the brain handles reward, motivation, and self-control. It often occurs alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD. We take a psychiatry-led, integrated approach that treats both substance use and mental health together so recovery is more durable.
At our clinic, we recognize that addiction can be intertwined with mental health issues or vice versa. We take a whole-person approach, evaluating and treating the entirety of the individual, whether their struggle is solely with addiction or if mental health issues contribute to their addiction or arise from it.
Personalized treatments encompass a range of comprehensive options, including a dedicated team, individual, group, and family therapies, supportive housing, outpatient programs, medications, and more. We prioritize understanding and addressing the complex relationship between addiction and mental health for a holistic recovery experience.
Anxiety, depression and other behaviors often overlaps with addiction.
Mind Therapy clinicians who work in addiction treatment are also experienced in the treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders. These addiction specialists consider both your dependence and your mental illness as you go through the recovery process. Recovery blends the most successful aspects of mental health care and substance abuse treatment. Instead of drawing a hard line between psychiatric health and addiction, these areas are treated as part of a continuum.

What are co-occurring disorders?
Co-occurring disorders (also called dual diagnosis) means a substance use disorder happens at the same time as one or more mental health conditions. Common combinations include depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, bipolar spectrum, ADHD, OCD, and personality-related difficulties. Treating only substance use – or only mental health – often leads to short-lived results. Durable recovery requires addressing both together.

Why integrated treatment works
- Substance use can mask or worsen mood, anxiety, and trauma symptoms.
- Mental health symptoms can trigger cravings and relapse risk.
- Coordinated care reduces handoffs, conflicting plans, and gaps that derail progress.
- Patients get one team, one plan, and consistent skills across settings.

How we integrate care at Mind Therapy Clinic
1) Comprehensive assessment
Psychiatry-led evaluation of substance use patterns, withdrawal risk, and mental health history; medical review and labs as needed.
2) One plan, one team
Your psychiatrist, individual therapist, family therapist, group facilitators, and case manager meet weekly to align goals and adjust care.
3) Evidence-based therapies
CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing/MI, relapse-prevention, and skills groups that apply to both conditions.
4) Medications when appropriate
Medication management for mood/anxiety/ADHD and MAT (e.g., buprenorphine, naltrexone, acamprosate) when clinically indicated.
5) Integrated family support
Education, boundaries, and coaching so home supports recovery rather than stress.
6) Step-up/step-down continuity
Seamless movement across Outpatient ↔ IOP ↔ PHP, with the same core team; option to pair IOP/PHP with 24/7 supportive living.
7) Measurement-based care
Regular symptom and functioning measures for both substance use and mental health—shared with you to track progress together.
To increase the chances of achieving a full recovery, your care will include integrated treatment of your mental health and substance use disorders by members of our highly-trained treatment team. This approach, unique to Mind Therapy Clinic, brings together multiple experts to who work together to provide treatment.
