Substance use is the most common co-occurring struggle for those living with mental illness.

Due to the prevalent nature of substance use existing with mental health struggles, it makes sense to incorporate treatment for both into one comprehensive approach.
Soul Savvy Counseling created a successful treatment option for clients interested in addressing substance use and mental health at the same time.

Our group format ensures optimal support from peers. It also includes 1:1 sessions with a Mental Health Clinical Trainee / LADC to offer individualized care and reinforce healing.

Treatment for co-occuring substance use and mental illness is a complex endeavor.

Many clients drop out of treatment before lasting changes can take place and don’t get the kind of healing they deserve.

A supportive group format followed up with relational 1:1 counseling that incorporates mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing, can lead to better healing outcomes.

Soul Savvy’s Virtual Substance Use Treatment group provides ample support for those needing treatment for addiction.

7.7 million adults have co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders (National Institute on Drug Abuse; NIH)

Not everyone with comorbid disorders receive treatment that address both mental health and substance use. In fact, only 9.1% of people who seek treatment receive a blended approach, with 34.5% accepting solely mental health treatment and 3.9% obtaining solely substance abuse treatment (National Institute on Drug Abuse; NIH).

Rob at Soul Savvy Counseling & Therapy is passionate about blending substance use and mental health treatment in a group supported format. The Co-Occurring Substance Use Treatment group is a comprehensive treatment option for anyone that is seeking an intimate group setting to support their recovery.

The group is limited to 10 members to allow for deeper connection and processing, as well as time to address both mental health and substance use issues. What makes this a unique program is its focus on the emotional, cognitive, somatic, and spiritual aspects of regulation to meet the needs of each client holistically.


The group currently has openings and treatment is offered on an ongoing basis.

Complications in recovery from substance abuse are compounded when underlying mental health concerns are not addressed.

The Co-Occurring Substance Use Treatment Group at Soul Savvy Counseling & Therapy offers clients an opportunity to address both mental health and substance abuse concerns in a small, safe, and sensitive environment with Robert Andrews-Mendoza, an experienced LADC with a passion for co-occurring disorders.

The group meets virtually, two times a week, and in the evenings via a HIPAA compliant platform. The small group environment allows for each client to share, be supported by group members, and receive practical resources to aid healing.

Additionally, group members have direct access to Rob for individual sessions between group times to provide maximum support during their group experience.

Each group member will have a SUD comprehensive assessment & a diagnostic assessment with Rob prior to beginning the group. Once the client has begun the group, they will continue to have individual sessions with Rob and discharge is determined collaboratively, not just when sobriety is achieved or if relapse occurs.

What makes this a unique program is its focus on the emotional, cognitive, somatic, and spiritual aspects of regulation to meet the needs of each client holistically.

Recovery matters! The Co-Occurring Substance Use Treatment Group can help achieve and sustain recovery!
