Why It’s Important We Also Serve the Mental Health Community

At Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health, our mission has always been to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to those facing substance use challenges. But recovery is never just about substance use. Behind many struggles with addiction, there are deeper layers of emotional pain, mental health concerns, and life experiences that also need healing.

Research shows that nearly 1 in 2 people with a substance use disorder (SUD) also experience a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. Yet, historically, mental health and addiction treatment have too often been kept separate. This disconnect leaves many individuals without the complete support they need to recover and thrive.

That’s why Kolmac is expanding our services to also serve the mental health community. We believe treating substance use without addressing mental health—and vice versa—creates gaps in care. By integrating both, we can meet people where they are and provide whole-person treatment.

Why This Matters

  • Breaking the cycle: Mental health challenges can lead to substance use as a coping mechanism, while substance use can intensify mental health symptoms. Addressing both together helps prevent relapse and builds stronger, long-term recovery.

  • Reducing stigma: Many people delay seeking help because of shame or fear of judgment. By normalizing care for both mental health and SUD, Kolmac creates a safe space where individuals feel seen, understood, and supported.

  • Improving outcomes: Studies consistently show that integrated care leads to better health, higher recovery rates, and improved quality of life.

What We’re Offering

With our expanded services, Kolmac patients will now have access to:

  • Therapy for mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, and trauma.

  • Medication management for psychiatric conditions, when clinically appropriate.

  • Coordinated care that brings substance use and mental health treatment under one roof.

Our Commitment

Kolmac has been a trusted partner in recovery for decades. By expanding to serve the mental health community, we are doubling down on our commitment to holistic healing. Because recovery is more than abstaining from substances—it’s about rebuilding lives, relationships, and hope.

If you or someone you love is seeking help with mental health, substance use, or both, know that Kolmac is here. We’re ready to walk beside you, offering the care and compassion you deserve.
