Oftentimes, when people are struggling with substance use, they’re also dealing with a mental health challenge, like anxiety or depression. At Rogers Behavioral Health, we recognize the importance of treating the whole person.
“We treat people with the symptoms they’re presenting,” says Laura John, NCSE, LICSW, LADC, LCSW, ICS, CSAC, senior director of Addiction services – PHP/IOP. “If someone is struggling with substance use because they have PTSD, we’re going to individualize and shift treatment to address both things that are occurring with the same team. We need to treat both sides of the illness so people can get well.”
