Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders in Addiction Treatment
May 2, 2025
Treating Addiction and Mental Health Together
Many individuals struggling with addiction also face mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. At Center for Change, we specialize in treating co-occurring disorders, providing an integrated approach that addresses both addiction and mental health. Treating these conditions together improves overall outcomes, as unaddressed mental health issues can be a barrier to sobriety.
Through personalized therapy and medical support, we help clients manage both conditions, allowing them to build a healthier, more balanced life.
Treating co-occurring disorders is essential for lasting recovery. Center for Change provides comprehensive care to support both addiction recovery and mental health.
Group therapy is a cornerstone of effective addiction treatment, providing individuals with a community of peers who understand their struggles. At Center for Change, our group therapy sessions foster connection, accountability, and encouragement. Clients share experiences, celebrate progress, and learn from each other, building bonds that strengthen their commitment to sobriety.
Identifying and managing triggers is essential for maintaining sobriety in addiction recovery. Triggers—situations, people, or emotions that prompt the urge to use—can be challenging, but with the right strategies, they can be managed effectively. At Center for Change, we teach clients how to recognize their triggers, avoid risky situations, and develop healthy coping mechanisms like mindfulness and deep breathing.
Goal setting is a powerful tool in addiction recovery, helping individuals stay focused and motivated as they work toward a healthier future. At Center for Change, we encourage clients to set both short- and long-term goals, providing a sense of purpose and accomplishment. These goals could include milestones like completing a therapy program, reconnecting with family, or developing new hobbies.
