Substance Use

Many people mistakenly believe that addiction results from a lack of willpower or moral principles. In reality, addiction is a complex disease that alters the brain, making it hard to quit even for those who want to stop.

Substance Use & Recovery

 

You are not alone. In 2023, approximately 48.5 million Americans aged 12 or older met the criteria for a substance use disorder. Addiction is a complex condition that affects brain behavior, but with the right network of support and clinical tools, recovery is possible.

 

Dual Diagnosis: Many individuals experience co-occurring conditions, meaning they manage both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition simultaneously. Integrated treatment is the most effective way to address both aspects of wellness.
