Mental Health Treatment
Why We Treat Addiction and Mental Health Together
At Clear Path Recovery Center, we know that addiction and mental health go hand in hand. Trying to treat one without the other is like patching a leak without turning off the water. That’s why we take an integrated approach—looking at the full picture, not just the symptoms.
A lot of folks who walk through our doors are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other challenges alongside substance use. We offer personalized care that blends therapy, medication support, and real human connection, all designed to meet people right where they are.
Our team isn’t just clinically skilled, they’re compassionate, attentive, and focused on helping you feel safe and understood. By treating both mind and body together, we help lay a stronger foundation for lasting recovery. Because healing isn’t just about quitting drugs or alcohol. It’s also about rebuilding your life with care, patience, and the right help.
Dual-Diagnosis Care for Addiction and Co-Occurring Disorders
At Clear Path Recovery Center we understand how complex addiction can be. We also know that mental health disorders like depression, anxiety or PTSD often co-occur with substance use disorders.
Whether the alcoholism came before the depression, or from it—both your substance use disorder and mental health condition must be treated at the same time for the best results.
It’s not unusual for people with mental health conditions like depression or anxiety to ‘self-medicate’ with alcohol or drugs. This is especially true when people haven’t been diagnosed. They’re simply looking for sleep or some peace from their symptoms. In fact, nearly half of PTSD sufferers also have substance use disorders.
Mental Health Conditions We Treat
Many of these mental health conditions can exist in a person side-by-side with addiction or substance dependence. If you or someone you care about is suffering from a substance use disorder or dependence and they have one of these disorders (or its symptoms)—-Clear Path can help.
