At Altus, we recognize that alcohol dependence frequently masks undiagnosed or untreated mental health challenges. Our therapists utilize evidence-based, time-efficient therapeutic approaches proven to deliver strong outcomes.
We have expertise treating diverse co-occurring conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders, eating disorders, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences.
