Why We Offer Mental Health Treatment Programs
For a full recovery, we at Serenity Grove, believe in addressing every aspect of a client’s health—be it their physical health, mental health issues, past trauma, medical history, and general well-being. Consequently, mental health disorder treatment is an integral part of all our addiction recovery programs.
Thus, we offer mental health disorder treatment for the following reasons:
- Several studies have shown a direct link between addiction and mental health. As a result, we offer dual-diagnosis programs. In such a program, we address the physical symptoms of addiction along with co-occurring mental health issues.
- Moreover, by improving the client’s mental health, we can instill in them new hope, confidence, and resilience. Thus, they are motivated to play an active role in recovery.
- With the help of therapy, clients also learn to identify triggers and negative thought patterns. Later, they can replace them with healthier habits.
- By addressing common issues such as depression and anxiety, clients thus learn effective coping mechanisms to deal with different challenges.
- Better mental health also implies increased production of happy hormones like serotonin and dopamine. Consequently, this leads to clients feeling more energetic, productive, and optimistic.

How We Combat the Stigma of Mental Health
The stigma of mental health is another factor contributing to Georgians not seeking mental health treatment.
Stigma means other people see you in a negative way because you have a mental health disorder. For instance, they might consider it a personal failing or weakness. Oftentimes, this leads to stereotypes and discrimination.
At Serenity Grove, we combat mental health stigma in the following ways:
- Encouraging those who struggle to get the support they need
- Educating clients and their families about mental health disorders
- Focusing on strengths-based recovery
- Building peer support networks among the clients in our facilities
- Making treatment accessible and affordable
- Empowering clients to design a treatment plan that works for them
Our welcoming and inclusive environment also helps marginalized people like the LGBTQIA+ community. We also reach out to working professionals, who might worry about their careers due to mental health stigma. Furthermore, our treatment programs for young adults help clients at the beginning stages of mental illness for better long-term outcomes.
Lastly, our programs offer specialized treatment to first responders, firefighters, and veterans—as people in these groups often struggle with the stigma of seeking help for mental health disorders.
