Addiction and mental health travel together
Anxiety, depression, and trauma sit alongside substance use far more often than not. Sometimes the substance use started as a way to manage the mental health condition; sometimes it runs the other way. Either way, treating only one side tends to leave the other free to pull recovery back down. The patient who gets stable on medication but is still living with untreated panic attacks or depression is the one most likely to slip.
That is the case for treating both at the same time. When your addiction care and your mental health care come from the same team and sit on the same plan, the two stop working against each other.
One team, one plan
At Restoration Recovery, co-occurring mental health is built into your treatment rather than handed off to another office. It starts with an assessment that looks at both your substance use and your mental health, and becomes a single plan your providers manage together.
- Co-occurring assessment and integrated treatment planning at intake
- Psychiatric medication management by licensed providers, coordinated with your MAT
- Individual counseling for anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Your recovery plan and your mental health plan kept as one plan, not two separate ones
- Confidential under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2
For the medication side of recovery — Suboxone for opioid use, or Vivitrol and other options for alcohol use — see those pages for how the medication works. After your first in-person visit, ongoing appointments can be handled by telehealth.
What we treat alongside recovery
Anxiety and substance use
Anxiety and panic are among the most common conditions we see in people seeking treatment for opioid or alcohol use. Drinking or using to quiet the anxiety, then feeling it spike again in withdrawal, is a cycle that medication-assisted treatment alone does not break. We treat the anxiety directly — counseling, plus psychiatric medication management when it is clinically appropriate — as part of the same plan that stabilizes the substance use.
Depression and substance use
Depression is often what makes recovery hardest to sustain: the energy to keep appointments, take medication, and stay engaged is exactly what depression takes away. We treat depression alongside your substance use so it stops quietly undoing your progress, with counseling and coordinated psychiatric medication support inside one care plan.
Trauma, PTSD, and substance use
For a lot of people, substance use traces back to trauma. Treating the substance use without addressing what is underneath it tends not to hold. Our providers treat post-traumatic stress and trauma history as part of recovery — trauma-informed counseling and medication management coordinated with your MAT — at a pace that does not destabilize the recovery you are building.
