Substance Use Recovery (SUDS)
Co-Occurring In Clinic Treatment
Northern Pines Substance Use Disorder Service is designed to provide
Co-Occurring outpatient treatment to adults who have substance use disorder(s) and also mental health concerns.
Evidence based research indicates that a successful recovery for Co-Occurring clients involves an interdisciplinary team offering both substance use and mental health simultaneously, in the same setting, rather than trying to treat both issues as separate problems with different providers.
The client is seen as an active partner in the development of their treatment goals.
