Addiction Medicine Program – Mood, Anxiety, Concurrent

We know that having a mood/anxiety disorder increases a person’s chances of struggling with unhealthy substance use. The connections between mental health and substance use can be complex, and both issues deserve and require evidence-based therapies to support recovery and wellness. The Addiction Medicine Program – Mood, Anxiety, Concurrent offers comprehensive medical and clinical care for individuals dealing with substance use issues and the symptoms of mood/anxiety disorders.

We're here to help

Homewood Health has a long history as a leader in treating eating disorders, mental health, trauma, addiction and co-occurring disorders. We can advise on a treatment program that suits you best.

Program Highlights

This nine-week concurrent program allows time to fully explore the intersection of their mental health and substance use issues while learning skills they need for lasting recovery.
The highly structured program consists of two phases of treatment, focusing first on assessment, withdrawal management and stabilization, then moving into active treatment, which includes planning for ongoing recovery management.
Through weekly individual therapy sessions, patients complete the Unified Protocol – a CBT-based treatment focusing on recognizing and coping more effectively with overwhelming emotions.
Substance use recovery and relapse prevention groups focus on exploring the issues underlying problematic substance use and developing a personalized relapse prevention plan highlighting key strategies for maintaining both substance use and mental health recovery in the community.
A wide range of other therapy and activity groups ensure a holistic care and healing experience (e.g., music therapy, recreation therapy, horticulture therapy, etc.).
We offer treatment to people 18 years of age or older who seek help for significant symptoms of depression and/or anxiety and struggle with problematic substance use (alcohol, drugs, and/or prescription medications).

Outstanding Outcomes in Reducing Anxiety and Depression Symptoms

AMP-MAC Program patients are assessed at intake and discharge using several tools, including the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and General Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7). Based on the data from April 2022 to September 22, 69% of patients had moderate to severe anxiety at the program’s start, and only 21% had moderate to severe anxiety at the end. Similarly, 85% of patients had moderate to severe depression at the program’s start, and 36% had moderate to severe depression at the end.

We also monitor patient satisfaction regularly to assist with quality control and ensure patients receive the highest quality care. Based on the recent data collected, 96% of patients stated that the program had met their needs, they would recommend the program, and they would come back. Additionally, the overall rating of the program was 96%.
