Mental Health Treatment at Impact Outpatient Program

Understanding The Connection Between Addiction and Mental Health

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), over 8.5 million U.S. adults experience both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition. Nearly 50% of individuals seeking addiction treatment also require mental health support. At IOP, we recognize that addiction often stems from underlying emotional struggles, trauma, or unmanaged mental health conditions. Without addressing these core issues, achieving long-term sobriety becomes significantly more difficult.

Historically, addiction and mental health were treated separately. However, research confirms that integrated treatment leads to better outcomes. Many people turn to substances to self-medicate for conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. While this may provide temporary relief, it ultimately worsens both conditions, creating a cycle that is hard to break. Our dual-diagnosis treatment approach ensures that clients receive the therapeutic, medical, and emotional support needed to heal and regain control of their lives.

Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies

At Impact Outpatient Program, we combine proven therapeutic techniques with holistic practices to provide well-rounded care:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps individuals identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Focuses on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance.
• Trauma-Informed Care – Addresses past trauma that may be fueling addiction and mental health struggles.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – When appropriate, MAT is used to safely manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
• Mindfulness & Wellness Support – Yoga, meditation, and stress management techniques promote emotional balance and overall well-being.
