Strength lies in seeking help; recovery is possible and achievable

Substance-related and addictive disorders involve the misuse of substances like alcohol, drugs, or behaviors that lead to significant impairment or distress.

At the Joy of Life Clinic, our clinicians diagnose these disorders using tools such as the DSM-5, ASAM criteria, and screenings like CAGE or AUDIT. The diagnostic process includes a thorough assessment of medical history, psychological evaluation, and substance use patterns.

Treatment typically combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and support groups. While treatment outcomes vary, the goal is to achieve sustained recovery, improve overall health, and enhance quality of life.

We strive for regular follow-ups to help monitor our patients' progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
