What We Treat
Addiction Impacts All Walks of Life
People of all walks of life can become addicted to drugs or alcohol.
As serious and debilitating as substance use disorders (SUDs) can be, they are treatable. Every day, people are working at their recoveries and enjoying their new, sober lives. Forward Health is here for you as you set foot on this life changing journey.
Below are the types of addictions that we treat. You do NOT have to be at your lowest point to access help. We have various levels of treatment to support people in recovery regardless of where they are in the process.
Substances We Treat
We provide treatment for addiction to:
- Alcohol
- Opiates (e.g., heroin, fentanyl, morphine)
- Prescription Drugs (e.g., painkillers, benzodiazepines, Xanax)
- Stimulants (e.g., cocaine, methamphetamine)
- Medication Dependency (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone)
Addiction Impacts All Walks of Life
Alcohol Addiction
An alcohol addiction can begin innocently by having a beer or two with friends. To some people, this feeling is incredibly desirable and they begin relying on alcohol to have fun, relax and unwind around others. Before long, people become dependent and need more alcohol to feel the same effects. This puts them at risk for developing an alcohol use disorder (AUD).
An alcohol use disorder involves a strong urge or desire to use alcohol. Those with an AUD have trouble controlling their drinking, even when it causes problems in their lives. And if they try to decrease or stop drinking, they’ll have severe withdrawal effects. As serious as alcohol addiction is, it is treatable with medications and therapy.
Drug Addiction
From crystal meth to cocaine to marijuana, Forward Health treats all types of drug addictions. Many people start taking drugs to escape physical or emotional pain. But as drugs are used more often, changes occur in the brain, signaling an intense need for the drug of choice. What was once used for recreational purposes now becomes a full-blown addiction.
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are progressive and debilitating. It is not up to the individual to overcome them on their own. As with other chronic diseases, SUDs require treatment. They cannot be overlooked or ignored otherwise they will lead to health problems and issues at work, school and home.
Forward Health treats drug addictions using counseling and behavioral therapies. All treatment plans at Forward Health are personalized to each client’s needs and modified regularly based on their progress.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid addictions are characterized by powerful urges to use opioid drugs. These drugs change the chemistry of the brain and lead to tolerance. It doesn’t matter whether a person is abusing prescription opioids or heroin off the streets. Opioids are highly addictive and cause the same changes in the brain.
Opioid abuse can also lead to life-threatening health complications like respiratory distress and overdose, especially when combined with other drugs like alcohol.

Our Approach to Addiction Treatment
We understand that addiction doesn’t happen overnight, and recovery takes time. Our programs combine medication-assisted treatment (MAT), therapy, and counseling to support both your physical and emotional health. You’ll also learn strategies to prevent relapse and build a more balanced life.
Whether it’s your first time seeking help or you’ve faced setbacks before, we’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward lasting recovery.
Mental Health Treatment
Mental health challenges can affect every part of your life, making even small tasks feel overwhelming. At Thrivur Health, we treat a variety of mental health conditions with care, understanding, and proven therapies.
Conditions We Treat
Our programs address:
- Depression: Overcoming feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or fatigue.
- Anxiety: Managing excessive worry, fear, or panic attacks.
- Bipolar Disorder: Stabilizing mood swings and finding balance.
- Trauma and PTSD: Healing from painful experiences and moving forward.
How We Help
Through Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and personalized counseling, we empower clients to better understand and manage their mental health. If needed, we also provide psychiatric evaluations to guide medication management.
It’s important to remember that reaching out for help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a step toward strength.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many people who struggle with addiction also face mental health challenges. This is called a dual diagnosis, and it requires a specialized approach to care.
Why Treating Both Is Essential
When addiction and mental health conditions occur together, they can make each other worse. For example, someone with depression may turn to substances to cope, which can lead to addiction. Likewise, substance use can intensify symptoms of anxiety or trauma.
At Thrivur Health, we treat both conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach ensures that:
- You receive care for the underlying mental health issues contributing to addiction
- You gain the tools to manage cravings and triggers without relying on substances
Our dual diagnosis program focuses on creating long-term recovery and mental well-being.
Our Personalized Approach to Care
At Thrivur Health, we believe no two journeys are the same. That’s why we create personalized treatment plans for every client. We start with a thorough assessment to understand your needs, challenges, and goals. From there, we design a care plan that works for you.
Our services include:
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage physical dependence
- Individual Counseling to address personal challenges
- Group Therapy to foster community and peer support
- CBT and DBT to develop healthy coping skills
You won’t face this journey alone—our team will support you every step of the way.
