We treat conditions like: stress and burnout, and although Sana Recovery Centre is not a psychiatric facility, we work closely with mental health professionals like psychologists, psychiatrists and occupational therapists when and if needed by our clients, in order to treat co-occurring disorders.
SUBSTANCE ADDICTIONS
​
Substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs. One of the key impacts of illicit drug use on society is the negative health consequences experienced by its members.
ALCOHOL ADDICTION
​
Alcohol addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder associated with compulsive alcohol drinking, the loss of control over intake, and the emergence of a negative emotional state when alcohol is no longer available.
PROCESS ADDICTIONS
​
Although most people associate addiction with substances, addictions can occur without the involvement of substances. These addictions are habitual and provide a person with an emotional high, which keeps the person engaging in that behaviour. Inc. sex, love, gambling.
STRESS AND BURNOUT
​
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.
CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS
​
Some of the most common mental disorders seen in SUD treatment include:
Anxiety and mood disorders, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Conduct Disorders, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
TRAUMA
​
Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
