What We Treat
Holistic treatment for deeper and lasting recovery
At Longleaf, we take a holistic approach to treating substance use and mental health disorders. Our tailored services include symptom management, as we treat the entire individual to create the foundation for long-term change and improvement.
Addiction involves normal functions of the brain gone haywire. These functions can be resolved with treatment directed at an individual's specific needs when it is delivered by professionals who understand the underlying drivers that sustain substance use.
Drinking alcohol plays a significant role in many aspects of American society. However, it is also the most common substance involved with individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders.
Substance use disorders frequently occur with various mental health conditions, exacerbating symptoms and complicating recovery. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, or other psychiatric disorders, these conditions must be addressed simultaneously with substance use disorders to support long-term recovery.
Societal misconceptions can often prevent individuals from seeking help with mental health conditions, leaving untreated individuals feeling frustrated and misunderstood. The compassionate, comprehensive, and professional approach of Longleaf Wellness creates the foundation for long-lasting healing.
