Conditions We Treat

We provide specialized treatment for various substance use disorders, including:

• Opioid Use Disorder – Dependence on prescription painkillers (like oxycodone and hydrocodone) or illicit opioids such as heroin.
• Stimulant Use Disorder – Addiction to drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants like Adderall.
• Prescription Drug Addiction – Misuse of medications like benzodiazepines, sleep aids, and stimulants.
• Polysubstance Use Disorder – Addressing the complexities of addiction involving multiple substances, which often interact and exacerbate health problems.
• Alcohol Use Disorder – Chronic misuse of alcohol that impacts physical, mental, and emotional health, requiring a comprehensive approach to detox and recovery.
• Tobacco and Nicotine Addiction – Support for individuals seeking to break free from nicotine dependence, including vaping and smoking cessation support.

Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition in the same individual. This complex relationship can significantly complicate the recovery process, as the symptoms of one condition often exacerbate the other. At Liberty House Outpatient Center, we recognize that effective treatment for dual diagnosis requires an integrated approach that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of recovery. Our compassionate team combines evidence-based therapies, medical support, and holistic care to create personalized treatment plans that target both the addiction and the underlying mental health challenges. This comprehensive approach aims to reduce relapse risks, improve long-term outcomes, and support lasting, meaningful recovery.

Our team is skilled in addressing a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – Providing strategies to manage excessive worry and chronic anxiety.
• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) – Implementing evidence-based therapies like CBT to reduce symptoms and improve mood stability.
• Panic Disorder – Teaching grounding techniques and medication management to reduce panic attacks.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Using exposure and response prevention (ERP) as part of comprehensive treatment.

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) – Utilizing DBT to enhance emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Addiction doesn’t always involve substances. We provide support for:

• Gambling Addiction – Addressing compulsive gambling through therapy and support groups.
• Internet and Social Media Addiction – Helping clients find balance and reduce dependency on digital interactions.
• Sex and Love Addiction – Addressing compulsive behaviors that interfere with healthy relationships.

For individuals whose substance use began as a way to manage chronic pain, we offer a dual approach that addresses pain management without dependence. This includes:

• Physical Therapy – Reducing pain through exercise and movement techniques.
• Mindfulness Practices – Techniques like meditation and yoga to reduce stress and physical discomfort.
• Non-Addictive Medication Management – Working with healthcare providers to find safer, more sustainable options.

Trauma often plays a significant role in the development of substance use disorders. Our trauma-informed approach addresses both the immediate impact of trauma and the long-term patterns of self-medication that can develop as a coping mechanism. Treatment includes:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – To process traumatic memories without retraumatization.
• Somatic Experiencing – Addressing how trauma is stored in the body.
• Trauma-Focused CBT – Helping clients reframe traumatic thoughts and develop healthier coping strategies.
