Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Integrated care for mental health and chemical dependency – JLS Consulting
JLS Consulting was established with a clear mission: to provide people in the Twin Cities with superior treatment options for Co-Occurring Disorders. We recognize the complex interplay between mental health and chemical dependency, and we’re committed to addressing both simultaneously through our specialized integrated approach.
Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders
Co-Occurring disorders—when mental health and chemical health issues occur together—present unique challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. The symptoms of one condition can often mask or intensify the symptoms of the other, creating a complex clinical picture that requires specialized care.
While traditional treatment models often separate mental health and chemical dependency services, our providers at JLS Consulting take a different approach. We recognize that these issues are deeply interconnected and require an integrated and collaborative treatment strategy to achieve lasting recovery.
Our Evidence-Based Integrated Approach
Integrated treatment is now recognized as an evidence-based practice in addressing Co-Occurring disorders. Research consistently shows that when mental health and substance use disorders are treated simultaneously—whether by a single clinician or through a coordinated team approach—outcomes are significantly better than when these issues are addressed separately.
Comprehensive Assessment
Our treatment begins with a thorough evaluation that examines both mental health symptoms and substance use patterns, allowing us to develop a complete understanding of your unique situation.
Coordinated Care
Our mental health and chemical health specialists work together, sharing information and coordinating treatment strategies to ensure all aspects of your health are addressed.
Personalized Treatment
We recognize that each person’s experience with Co-Occurring disorders is unique, which is why we tailor our approach to address your specific symptoms, challenges, and goals.
Our Multidisciplinary Team
The JLS Consulting team has been carefully assembled to provide comprehensive services to individuals dealing with multiple issues. Our specialists bring diverse expertise in various mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and evidence-based treatment approaches.
When you receive services at JLS Consulting, you may work with an individual provider or benefit from our integrated team approach, depending on your specific needs. This flexibility allows us to customize our individual and group services to address your unique situation effectively.
