At The Healing Institute, we understand that addiction and mental health rarely happen in isolation. We work with individuals to develop a plan that simultaneously addresses concurrent disorders.
With holistic and structured care programs, our approach ensures that each participant receives the attention, resources, and interventions necessary to achieve meaningful and lasting recovery.
A concurrent disorder is the simultaneous occurrence of substance use and a mental health disorder. For example, someone with a concurrent disorder may experience bipolar disorder alongside an opioid addiction or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) alongside alcohol addiction.
At The Healing Institute, we provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to treatment for individuals living with addiction and mental health challenges. Our medically informed treatment plans are developed through a multi-disciplinary process that carefully considers each participant’s clinical presentation, history, and recovery goals.
Our approach is guided by exceptional quality of service, effective clinical outcomes and engaging participants and their support networks through a continuum of care and best practices by recognized medical professionals.Our goal is to deliver specialized care that goes beyond immediate relief, fostering lasting positive outcomes for our participants.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals manage emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviours and improve relationships.

As necessary, psychiatrists and medical professionals will prescribe and monitor medication to alleviate symptoms, stabilize mood and improve overall well-being, often in conjunction with other therapeutic interventions.
Somatic therapy, also known as somatic experiencing therapy, is a mental health therapy that aims to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental and emotional health issues through the connection of mind and body. This body-centric approach works by helping to release stress, tension and trauma from the body.
Unlike other mental health therapy approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses prominently on the mind, somatic therapy incorporates body-oriented modalities such as dance, breathwork and meditation to support mental healing. In addition, somatic experiencing therapy sessions include both talk therapy and mind-body exercises.
We focus on teaching practical, applicable skills such as communication, problem-solving and emotional management. These interactive sessions allow participants to actively engage, practice and internalize new skills.
Participants will be supported in identifying and attending community support groups, including 12-step, SMART and LifeRing meetings.

Common examples of concurrent disorders include the pairing of anxiety disorders with alcohol dependence, depression alongside cocaine addiction, or bipolar disorder coupled with opioid misuse. Identifying and addressing these dual challenges is crucial for comprehensive and effective treatment.

We combine evidence-based therapies, medication management and holistic practices to address both substance use and mental health simultaneously. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates closely to tailor treatment plans, ensuring each client receives personalized care that promotes lasting recovery and mental wellness.
