For individuals with substance use disorders
Struggling with alcoholism or a drug addiction can make recovery seem impossible. At AltaPointe, we believe sobriety is possible. Deciding to work toward recovery by seeking the right treatment and support is the first step. Change is not easy, and the journey to recovery may be riddled with hurdles, but our professionals can help patients identify the underlying problems that led to their addictions.
Sometimes people who have become addicted to substances or alcohol also may have mental health issues. This is called dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. The best way to achieve recovery and wellness is by seeking an integrated treatment program that addresses both problems simultaneously. AltaPointe has worked with individuals who have co-occurring disorders for many decades. We have a reputation for helping our patients succeed in addressing their dual diagnoses and developing strategies to maintain healthy lifestyles and wellness.
AltaPointe offers several outpatient substance use disorder treatment options. AltaPointe gives priority to women who are pregnant and have intravenous substance use disorders or any substance use disorder; women with dependent children; individuals who have intravenous substance use disorders; individuals who are HIV positive and all others who have substance use disorders.
