Co-Occurring Disorders Program
Overview
The Vera French Whole Person Co-Occurring Disorder (COD) Treatment Program is an innovative approach to addressing substance use disorders (SUD) by integrating mental health treatment and healthy living strategies for whole person health. This comprehensive program is designed to break down traditional treatment silos, creating a healthy synergy and making our interventions more effective and holistic.
Evidence-Based Strategies
At Vera French, we employ a variety of evidence-based strategies tailored to achieve positive outcomes for individuals with a Co-Occurring Disorder. Our core methodologies include:
- Seeking Safety: A peer-based approach that focuses on helping group members regain stability in their lives through exercise, healthy eating, and coping strategies.
- Enhanced Illness Management & Recovery (E-IMR): A peer-supported intervention aimed at illness management and recovery, specifically designed for individuals with co-occurring disorders.
Whole-Person Therapy
Our treatment philosophy revolves around whole-person therapy, ensuring we address not just the SUD but the entire individual, resolving root causes to facilitate long-term healthy living. Our services include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Multisystemic Therapy (MST)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

- Women’s Group: Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-10 am
- Men’s Group: Tuesdays and Fridays from 9-10 am
