Comprehensive Mental Health Treatment

A mental health disorder is a general term for conditions that affect how a person thinks, feels, or behaves. These disorders can range from mild to severe, depending on how long the symptoms last and how much they interfere with daily life. Some people may experience temporary challenges, while others face long-term challenges that make it hard to manage work, relationships, or other responsibilities.

Mental health disorders are more common than most people realize. Unfortunately, stigma often prevents people from talking about their struggles or getting the help they need. According to data from the National Institute of Mental Health, more than one in five adults in the U.S. lives with a mental illness. The most common types include:

• Anxiety Disorder
• Depressive Disorder
• Bipolar Disorder
• Borderline Personality Disorder
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Schizophrenia

There is no single checklist for mental health disorders, but a general rule of thumb is to seek help or resources if you don’t feel like yourself. Consider these questions:

• Am I uninterested in things I used to enjoy?
• Have I been overly emotional or agitated?
• Am I relying on alcohol or drugs to cope?
• Do I have trouble focusing or concentrating?
• Have I been avoiding social interactions?
• Have my eating or sleeping patterns changed?
• Do I have thoughts of suicide or harming others?

These questions are just a starting point and are not a substitute for a professional mental health assessment. For more information or to access free resources available in your community, contact our admissions department or consult with your primary care physician.

• Psychiatrists: Medical doctors who can prescribe and monitor medications.
• Psychologists: Professionals who diagnose and treat mental health conditions and provide therapy.
• Primary Care Physician: Your primary physician is a good starting point as they can evaluate your symptoms and refer you to a specialist if needed.
• Other counselors include marriage and family therapists, licensed social workers, and addiction counselors.

A licensed mental health professional will perform a psychological or psychiatric evaluation, which typically includes:

• Taking a mental health history
• Identifying medical conditions
• Discussing family and social history
• Identifying trauma exposure
• Reviewing substance use

Mental health challenges are often temporary when they can be linked to a specific event or situation. If you notice feelings like anxiety, sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in activities after experiencing a stressful life event—such as the loss of a loved one, a serious illness, job loss, or a divorce—you may be dealing with what’s known as an adjustment disorder. This refers to an emotional or behavioral reaction to a major life change or disruption. Your response might happen right away or could develop weeks or even months later. However, if these symptoms continue for more than six months after the stressful event has passed, it may indicate a more persistent mental health condition.

In contrast, chronic mental health disorders are characterized by ongoing psychiatric symptoms that significantly interfere with your ability to function in everyday life. These conditions often require long-term management and support.

During mental health treatment, individuals engage in a range of therapeutic approaches designed to address their specific needs and goals. These methods aim to provide emotional support, improve coping skills, and foster long-term resilience. Whether working one-on-one with a therapist, participating in group sessions, or involving family members in the process, each component of treatment plays a critical role in promoting overall mental well-being. Some therapeutic services you can expect include:

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy involves one-on-one sessions with a therapist, typically held in a private setting such as a rehab center or primary care physician’s office. This personalized approach allows for a deep exploration of personal issues, tailored therapeutic strategies, and the development of a strong therapeutic alliance. Therapists collaborate closely with other professionals (psychiatrist, social workers, etc) to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated care plan for clients.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a supportive community where individuals can share their experiences, gain insights, and learn from others facing similar challenges. This modality fosters a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation. Participants benefit from the collective wisdom of the group, and receiving feedback in a safe environment. Group sessions can be particularly effective for building social skills, improving communication, and enhancing overall emotional resilience.

Family Therapy

Family therapy aims to improve communication and resolve conflicts within the family unit. Therapists assist family members in understanding each other’s perspectives, recognizing unhealthy interaction patterns, and developing more effective problem-solving skills. This collaborative approach fosters a supportive environment, promoting lasting positive changes within the family dynamic and helping members of all ages feel heard and valued, ultimately strengthening family bonds.

Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines the use of medications with counseling and behavioral therapies for those struggling with mental health issues. MAT is often integrated into recovery services for individuals requiring pharmacological support to manage their symptoms. Our thoughtful and strategic approach to medication aims to achieve mood stabilization and alleviate distressing symptoms.

It is challenging to determine how long treatment will take, as it varies depending on the specific diagnosis and the duration and intensity of treatment. Psychotherapy and medications do work in reducing symptoms and helping people regain their lives, but not overnight.

Small daily changes can have a big impact:

• Practice gratitude: Write down something you’re thankful for each day.
• Move around: Physical activity boosts your mood.
• Connect with people: Social interaction can lift your spirits.
