June is Men's Mental Health Month — a time to break the stigma, prioritize emotional well-being and a reminder that strength includes seeking support. At The Recovery Village, we’ve seen thousands of men get their lives back through choosing our compassionate, evidence-based behavioral healthcare.
For our alumni Doug Sander, the journey didn’t end after addressing his substance use. It was through continued care and a deeper understanding of his mental health that he discovered true, sustainable recovery.
Doug initially came to our center for addiction treatment and maintained his sobriety. But as time went on, he recognized something deeper was still unresolved – his mental health. Instead of ignoring the signs, Doug made the courageous decision to return for our primary mental health treatment program. Through this experience, he was able to face underlying challenges that had been silently impacting his well-being and threatening his sobriety.
His story is a powerful example of how recovery is not a one-size-fits-all path. It’s a process that evolves, and it often requires different types of support along the way. We’re honored to be part of Doug’s journey and grateful that he trusted our team to walk alongside him.
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health challenges, you’re not alone. Call 855-780-9796 to learn more about how our compassionate, evidence-based mental health treatment can help.
