Treatment Options

Many people who are struggling go on to recover from substance use disorder. Recognizing the pattern in yourself is the first critical step. If you want to take a closer look at your decisions around substance use, you can start by doing some research to learn about what you’re using and reach out to us to find assessment and treatment options. 

Some different ways to get support with changing your substance use: 

• Join a support group of people in similar situations – either online or in person 

• Talk to a counselor in a substance use program about how to regain control over your use 

• Talk to a mental health counselor about underlying stressors or related mental health issues to gain insight into why you’re using 

• Participate in a co-occurring disorder program (both mental health and substance use) so that you can explore the relationship between them 

• Ask your insurance about inpatient programs for substance use treatment to help you stop using in a safe and supportive environment
