A Respectful Place to Start

Substance Use & Co-Occurring Mental Health

Substance use and psychiatric symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Often, alcohol or substance use begins as self-medication for unmanaged depression or high stress, only to later aggravate sleep architecture, destabilize mood, and strain personal relationships. You do not need to feel shame or stigma when discussing what you use and how it affects your life.

How We Approach Assessment & Care

We conduct a respectful, thorough evaluation that looks at your whole life — your coping mechanisms, family history, emotional triggers, and personal goals. We meet you where you are, whether your goal is harm reduction, moderation, or long-term abstinence.

We address the underlying psychiatric conditions that may be driving the urge to self-medicate and coordinate care with outpatient therapists, support groups, or primary care providers.
