Mental Health Issues & Recovery

The first step is reaching out for help.

Mental Health Issues and Recovery Services in Cleveland and Medina, Ohio

People can experience different types of mental health and substance use issues, and these issues can affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Most people with mental health and substance use issues can get better. Recovery and treatment are ongoing processes that happen over time and the first step is reaching out for help. And we can help!

“People with mental health disorders are more likely than people without mental health disorders to experience an alcohol or substance use disorder. Co-occurring disorders can be difficult to diagnose due to the complexity of symptoms, as both may vary in severity. In many cases, people receive treatment for one disorder while the other disorder remains untreated. This may occur because both mental and substance use disorders can have biological, psychological, and social components. Other reasons may be inadequate provider training or screening, an overlap of symptoms, or that other health issues need to be addressed first. In any case, the consequences of undiagnosed, untreated, or undertreated co-occurring disorders can lead to a higher likelihood of experiencing homelessness, incarceration, medical illnesses, suicide, or even early death.”
