Co-Occur­ring Dis­or­der Group

This group helps clients iden­ti­fy and under­stand their own-per­son­al trig­gers for sub­stance and/​or alco­hol use and how it is con­nect­ed to a co-occur­ring men­tal health con­di­tion. This pro­gram will help clients to:

• Focus on build­ing relapse pre­ven­tion skills and increas­ing recov­ery-ori­ent­ed supports.
• Learn about the phys­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal effects of alco­hol and/​or illic­it sub­stance use.
• Devel­op and uti­lize non-drug/al­co­hol-ori­ent­ed cop­ing meth­ods to man­age men­tal health conditions.
• Gain knowl­edge about the cycle of addiction
