Substance abuse and mental health disorders often co-occur, making it crucial to address both issues simultaneously. Anza Wellness offers comprehensive programs to help individuals effectively manage their mental health and addiction.

Our Approach

Our team works with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs. We utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including:

• Substance use education: Learning about the effects of substances on the body and mind can help individuals make informed decisions about their use.
• Pharmacological interventions: Medications can be used to manage symptoms of substance abuse and mental health disorders.
• Group therapy: Participating in group therapy sessions can provide support, encouragement, and opportunities to learn from others.
• Counseling: Individual counseling can help individuals address underlying emotional issues and develop coping skills.
• Relapse prevention: Developing relapse prevention strategies can help individuals identify triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance abuse and mental health issues.
