Mental Health Component

Substance use disorder is often not an isolated issue.

Our Approach

Nearly half of people diagnosed with a substance use disorder also suffer from a mental health or behavioral disorder. This can make overcoming addiction even more difficult.

At C.A.R.S., counselors treat your substance use and we provide a mental health component to help you achieve greater wellness.

Why include a mental health component?

Many people who suffer from substance use disorder also have co-occurring mental health or behavioral disorders.

If your substance use treatment only addresses your substance use disorder without a component to support mental health, you are more likely to relapse.
