SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES MHS'S TREATMENT FOCUS RECOGNIZES THAT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS ARE OFTEN A SYMPTOM OF AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM. FOR MANY INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH ALCOHOLISM AND ADDICTION, ALCOHOL AND DRUGS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES, BUT RATHER AN ATTEMPTED SOLUTION TO DEEPER ISSUES. MHS UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE ENGAGEMENT IN SUPPORTING A CLIENT'S ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAM SERVICES. ENGAGEMENT BEGINS AT THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT, AND EARLY ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORT ARE CRITICAL TO IMPROVING OUTCOMES AND INCREASING THE PROMISE OF RECOVERY. TREATMENT EFFORTS FOCUS ON RESOLVING THE UNDERLYING ISSUES THAT LEAD TO SUBSTANCE USE WHILE ASSISTING CLIENTS IN DEVELOPING HEALTHY COPING MECHANISMS. THE MHS TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY IS GROUNDED IN A COGNITIVEBEHAVIORAL RESTRUCTURING MODEL AND BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION, ADDRESSING CHANGES IN THE ABILITY TO PROCESS AFFECT AND BUILD ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS COMMUNICATION, PROBLEM SOLVING, AND RELAPSE PREVENTION.
