WHAT IS SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER?

Substance use disorder refers to harmful and patterned use of substances for mood-altering purposes such as medicinal or recreational drugs and alcohol. The harmful effects may include short and long term social issues (and strained interpersonal relationships), health problems, disability, difficulties functioning or meeting responsibilities, risk-taking, impaired judgment and personal control. Not all individuals who use drugs or consume alcohol have a substance use disorder, however, if someone is experiencing challenges as a result of their use, it may be time to see a professional.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER?

Young adults who are facing substance use issues face a host of physical and emotional risks. Depending on the substance, their health and wellbeing may suffer. Mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety and substance use disorders are often closely linked. There are also very real legal risks (depending on the substance and circumstances of use).

How We Treat
Substance Use Disorders At The Dorm

Every individual's experience with Substance Use Disorder is unique to them. We focus on individualized treatment approaches that meet clients' clinical needs where they are today.

AT THE DORM, OUR INTEGRATED APPROACH TO TREATING INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER INCLUDES:

Individualized Approach

Therapists work with clients on developing the skills that will help them remain sober and prevent relapse.

Group Therapy

We host a broad variety of therapeutic recovery groups at each of our Dorm locations including comprehensive 12 steps groups each week, a general recovery group and a relapse prevention group alongside DBT sessions.

Community Support

We know how important it is for clients to develop a community and a network of peers who can support recovery and share in a common experience. In everything we do, we encourage sober fellowship and assist our clients as they navigate life outside of treatment and build a a supportive, peer-based network.

Holistic Services

We emphasize holistic treatment services such as meditation, mindfulness and exercise like yoga to support stress relief, manage triggers and help with distress tolerance.
