Behind nearly every struggle with substance use disorder (SUD) is a deeper mental health story like anxiety, trauma, and depression. When we treat one without the other, we risk missing the root cause and the opportunity for real transformation.

In fact, more than 1 in 15 adults living with serious mental health conditions also struggle with substance use.

At New Life Recovery, we treat the mind and body together, with compassion, science, and a program built around connection and care.

Learn how substance use disorder and mental health are deeply connected, and how we provide personalized, evidence-based treatment to support lasting recovery: https://newlife-recovery.com/substance-use-disorder-and-mental-health/

At New Life Recovery, we understand that healing isn’t just about treating substance use disorder or mental illness in isolation. Our integrated, whole-person approach to dual diagnosis therapy provides the coordinated care clients need to achieve sustainable recovery.

We address substance use disorder and mental illness in tandem by using evidence-based therapies, medical support, and holistic healing practices like yoga. Learn more: https://newlife-recovery.com/dual-diagnosis-therapy/

At New Life Recovery, we believe the path to healing begins with understanding. We recognize that the brain’s reward system plays a powerful role in the development of SUD.

Over time, substance use can rewire this system, tricking the brain into seeking artificial highs instead of authentic joy.

That’s why our approach goes far beyond managing symptoms. We combine evidence-based clinical therapies with holistic healing practices to address the root causes of substance use disorder and reawaken natural pathways to pleasure, connection, and purpose.

Trauma and depression —along with other mental health disorders—are closely linked, with one often influencing the other in varying ways.

For example, individuals who have experienced trauma often struggle with uncontrollable, intense feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, and hopelessness. These feelings create a perfect environment for depression to take root, and without proper support, this can quickly evolve into clinical depression.

The good news is: you don't have to struggle alone. At New Life Recovery, we offer comprehensive, integrative, and compassionate support. Our Fresno rehab team guides individuals and their loved ones through the stages of trauma and depression recovery and toward a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the simultaneous presence of a mental health condition and a substance use disorder (SUD).

Managing these intertwined challenges requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach to dual diagnosis relapse prevention.

Preventing a return to substance use or worsening mental health symptoms, commonly referred to as relapse prevention, is especially complex for those with dual diagnosis.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help individuals understand and change the patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety.

At its core, CBT focuses on the interplay between:
-Thoughts
-Emotions
-Behaviors

This therapeutic approach is rooted in the understanding that anxiety does not exist in isolation but is maintained by certain mental patterns and responses. By actively engaging with these mental processes, CBT for anxiety empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of constant fear.

Dual diagnosis group therapy is when individuals with both co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders come together in a structured, clinician-led setting.

It leverages the power of shared experience, creating an environment where participants realize their struggles aren’t specific to only their situation. Through group therapy, they are exposed to an atmosphere of validation, accountability, and collective growth.

Dual diagnosis group therapy also fosters a supportive community where individuals can practice their coping skills, receive feedback, and witness the recovery journeys of others.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious mental health condition that occurs after childbirth, marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and emotional numbness that interfere with a parent’s ability to function and bond with their baby.

PPD can develop within the first six weeks after birth, but it may also emerge months later. The condition can last for weeks or even years if left untreated.

Postpartum depression is one of the most prevalent complications of childbirth. Globally, an estimated 10% to 20% of mothers experience PPD after giving birth.

In the U.S., approximately 12.7% of women who have recently delivered a baby report symptoms consistent with postpartum depression.

These figures likely underestimate the true prevalence, as stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to healthcare can prevent accurate reporting and diagnosis. Learn more here: https://blackhorsehealth.com/postpartum-depression/
