Our clinical team specializes in providing individualized treatment plans that address co-occurring disorders, substance abuse, and other co-occurring conditions. In a healing environment centered on clinical excellence and compassionate care, we offer a variety of therapies, including individual therapy, group sessions, and CBT, to support clients on their journey to recovery.

At 449 Recovery, we employ a multi-faceted approach to address mental health issues and treat disorders through individual, group, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions provide a personalized and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with a licensed therapist. Through one-on-one sessions, clients receive tailored treatment plans designed to address their specific needs and challenges, whether they’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or co-occurring disorders like substance abuse.
Group Therapy
In addition to individual therapy, our group therapy sessions offer a supportive environment where clients can connect with peers facing similar challenges. Led by trained therapists, group sessions provide opportunities for shared experiences, mutual support, and interpersonal learning. Clients participate in discussions, activities, and exercises focused on developing coping skills, improving communication, and fostering healthy relationships.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Furthermore, our cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach emphasizes identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health issues. Through CBT techniques, clients learn to reframe distorted thinking, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate more adaptive behaviors. CBT is integrated into both individual and group therapy sessions to promote long-lasting change and symptom relief.
Mental Health Disorders We Treat
We may think of our mental health in terms of our feelings, thoughts, and social interactions, but it also impacts how we deal with stress, interact with others, and make positive life choices.
There is hope for anyone struggling with mental health issues. Getting assistance is an essential first step. What follows is an overview of the mental health conditions we treat in our programs at 449 Recovery.
Anxiety Disorders
Is anxiety taking a toll on your daily life? Whether it’s a nerve-wracking presentation at work, an overwhelming to-do list, or the uncertainty of dating, feeling anxious is a common experience. However, when anxiety becomes persistent and interferes with your activities, work, sleep, or relationships, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder that requires attention. Anxiety disorders affect a significant portion of the population, with one-third of individuals experiencing debilitating anxiety at some point in their lives.
While it’s normal to experience occasional anxiety in response to challenging situations, anxiety becomes problematic when it persists over time and interferes with daily functioning. Symptoms of anxiety can vary widely among individuals, but common signs may include:
- Excessive worrying about everyday events or activities.
- Feeling restless, tense, or on edge.
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing on tasks.
- Irritability or mood swings.
- Muscle tension or trembling.
- Rapid heartbeat or palpitations.
- Sweating, clamminess, or feeling overheated.
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
- Nausea, stomach discomfort, or digestive issues.
- Fatigue or trouble sleeping.
- Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety.
- Panic attacks, characterized by sudden and intense feelings of fear or dread.
It’s important to note that anxiety symptoms can range from mild to severe and may vary in intensity over time. If anxiety significantly impacts your daily life or persists for an extended period, seeking professional help from a healthcare provider or mental health professional is advisable.
Depression
Are persistent feelings of sadness or melancholy affecting your daily life? While it’s normal to experience occasional periods of low mood, prolonged and overwhelming sadness, difficulty getting out of bed, or disruptions to your routine may indicate depression. Depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and low self-esteem. Individuals with depression may also experience irritability, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns.
It’s important to recognize that depression is a common but serious condition that can significantly impact mental well-being. Fortunately, even the most severe forms of depression can be effectively treated. Treatment for depression may include psychotherapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and support from healthcare professionals and loved ones.
If you’ve been experiencing symptoms of depression for at least two weeks, such as persistent sadness, loss of interest, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty concentrating, it’s essential to seek help. Don’t hesitate to reach out for an evaluation and explore treatment options to improve your mental health and overall quality of life
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Individuals with PTSD may experience a range of symptoms that can significantly impact their daily lives. Common symptoms of PTSD include:
- Persistent re-experiencing of the traumatic event through intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
- Avoidance of reminders of the trauma, including places, people, or activities that trigger distressing memories
- Negative changes in thoughts and mood, such as persistent negative beliefs about oneself or the world, feelings of detachment or estrangement from others, and persistent negative emotions like fear, anger, or guilt
- Hyperarousal or heightened reactivity, including difficulty sleeping, irritability, hypervigilance, and exaggerated startle response
At 449 Recovery, we recognize the profound impact of PTSD on individuals’ lives and offer comprehensive treatment to address its symptoms and underlying causes. Our approach to treating PTSD is holistic and personalized, encompassing a combination of evidence-based therapies, medication management, and supportive interventions.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) presents recurring, distressing thoughts known as obsessions, coupled with repetitive actions, or compulsions, aimed at alleviating these thoughts. Symptoms of OCD may include:
- Fear of germs or contamination
- Unwanted intrusive thoughts related to sex, religion, or harm
- Aggressive impulses towards oneself or others
- Need for symmetry or order
- Compulsions, on the other hand, may manifest as:
- Excessive cleaning and handwashing
- Ordering and arranging items meticulously
- Repeatedly checking things like locked doors or turned-off appliances
- Compulsive counting
In our mental health treatment program, we recognize the profound impact of OCD on individuals’ lives and offer evidence-based treatment modalities to interrupt the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Through personalized treatment plans and compassionate care, we empower individuals to regain control over their lives and achieve lasting recovery from OCD.
Schizoaffective Disorder
Schizoaffective disorder is a complex mental health condition characterized by a combination of symptoms from schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and mood disorders like bipolar disorder or depression. At 449 Recovery, we offer specialized treatment plans tailored to individuals with stable cases of schizoaffective disorder, providing essential tools to enhance their daily functioning and overall well-being.
Our evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other proven methods, aim to improve client outcomes by helping them manage symptoms, regulate emotions, and develop effective coping strategies. Through personalized care and support, we empower individuals to navigate the challenges of schizoaffective disorder and lead fulfilling lives.

Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders
Mental illnesses often co-occur with substance use disorders, creating a complex and challenging situation for individuals seeking treatment. At 449 Recovery, we understand the intricate interplay between mental health conditions and substance abuse, which is why we offer a specialized dual diagnosis program to address both issues simultaneously. Co-occurring disorders, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), can exacerbate substance use problems and vice versa.
Our dual diagnosis program integrates evidence-based treatments tailored to the unique needs of individuals facing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Using a holistic approach, we combine therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and medication management to address underlying issues, manage symptoms, and promote long-term recovery. By addressing mental health and substance use disorders concurrently, we aim to provide comprehensive care that fosters lasting wellness and sobriety.
With a focus on clinical excellence and compassionate support, 449 Recovery empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of co-occurring disorders and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
