Canon Human Services extends more than just substance use recovery—you’ll find dedicated mental health referral services that bridge an important gap in care. For so many, emotional well‑being plays a key role in sustained recovery. This program guides individuals to trusted mental health professionals tailored to their specific needs.
Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other psychological challenges, Canon ensures participants receive timely and appropriate referrals to support their overall wellness.
Addressing mental health needs in tandem with addiction treatment is essential for long‑term success.
A Personalized Treatment
Your mental health recovery journey begins with a comprehensive intake and assessment conducted by trained clinicians. This evaluation assesses past and present challenges, considering factors such as trauma history, mood symptoms, and behavioral patterns. It examines whether co-occurring mental health disorders might be influencing substance use.
Depending on your profile and care goals, Canon staff can recommend an appropriate provider—be it psychiatrists, licensed therapists, psychologists, or specialized clinics. This ensures that your referral aligns with your personal and financial needs, location, and more.
The intake assessment process is collaborative, respectful, and informed by Canon’s mission to respond to each person’s unique recovery journey.
Why Mental Health Referrals Matter
Untreated mental health issues can undermine addiction treatment, increasing relapse risk. Studies show individuals with dual diagnoses are more likely to remain in recovery when both disorders receive coordinated attention
By facilitating access to mental health professionals, Canon helps close a critical gap—ensuring that participants are fully supported in reclaiming purpose and stability. Our treatment may include services such as:
- Individual therapy (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and more)
• Psychiatric evaluation and medication management.
• Group therapy sessions addressing grief, depression, or PTSD
• Peer support and psychoeducational programs
These are not program add‑ons—they complement Canon’s existing outpatient and residential offerings. Participants can continue mental health care concurrently with addiction counseling, relapse prevention, or aftercare planning.
An Ongoing Connection
Mental health care is not a one‑timetreatment—it’s a dynamic and sustained process. Canon encourages consistent communication between participants and referred providers. If symptoms change,treatment plans can be adjusted, and new evaluations can be arranged. This responsive approach ensures care remains aligned with your recovery journey.
Holistic, Integrated Recovery Planning
Canon views recovery as an integrated process. Mental health referral services are woven into your overall care plan, including:
- Substance use counseling
• Group therapy
• Life skills training
• Relapse prevention sessions
• Aftercare planning
This holistic approach aligns with best practices for co-occurring disorder treatment by combining mental health and addiction care in a unified plan. You remain supported, no matter where your healing journey leads.
Support Through Transitions and Lifespan
Transitions—leaving residential programs, returning to work, or relocating—often bring emotional disruptions. Canon stands by clients throughout these phases, helping maintain continuity of care and adjusting referrals as needs evolve.
Mental health challenges can arise unexpectedly, even years into recovery. Should new symptoms surface, Canon remains available to reassess needs, offer referrals, or coordinate short‑term mental health support.
Strengthening Client Resilience
Referrals are more than paperwork—they’re part of a mission to empower individuals with lifelong habits:
- Strengthening self-awareness
• Addressing underlying trauma or mental health conditions
• Building sustainable coping skills
• Enhancing life satisfaction and purpose
This layered support makes recovery less vulnerable to stress and disconnection, supporting lasting change and deeper healing.
Breaking Down Barriers
Mental health services can feel out of reach due to cost, stigma, or complexity. Canon intentionally makes referrals part of easy‑to‑access, destigmatized care by:
- Providing warm hand‑offs to providers
• Checking treatment progress
• Troubleshooting participation barriers
• Normalizing mental health care as part of recovery
This proactive approach promotes engagement and reduces dropout risk, setting participants on a path to sustained wellness.
Community Collaboration
Canon leverages an extensive network of community partners and referral relationships. These include:
- Public mental health clinics
• Private practitioners
• Hospital outpatient teams
• Specialized trauma, PTSD, or anxiety programs
• Peer‑led support services
These partnerships ensure that referrals are not generic, but customized, relevant, and actionable for each person.
The Role of Trauma and Cultural Sensitivity
Many participants bring histories of trauma, social inequity, or cultural marginalization. Mental health referrals acknowledge these realities by offering:
- Trauma‑informed therapists
• Care in multiple languages
• Safe, inclusive environments
• Providers trained in cultural competency
This sensitivity honors your identity and overall well-being, ensuring mental health care is empowering and respectful.
Fostering Long‑Term Wellness
What sets Canon’s approach apart is its continuity of care beyond addiction treatment. Mental health referrals become part of a long‑term wellness plan that may include:
- Regular check‑ins with Canon staff
• Reintegration into community therapy groups
• Scheduling follow‑up appointments months or years later
• Coordinated aftercare and relapse prevention programs
Referrals are not a temporary fix. They help sustain a mindset of balanced mental health, long after completing formal recovery programs. Mental health can be incorporated into our aftercare programs, too.
Mental Health Referral Services for Moving Forward
Since 1988, Canon Human Services has integrated mental health into a broader mission of recovery and restoration. The mental health referral service is one more way Canon stands beside clients—guiding, connecting, and advocating for whole‑person health.
Many adults battling substance dependence also struggle with underlying mental health issues. Integrated care strategies address both concerns simultaneously. Mental health treatment can be integrated into our court liaison assistance, too.
If you’re seeking a program where substance use support and mental health care are treated with equal importance, Canon’s referral services offer a trusted, community-focused path forward.
