Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment in Grand Junction, Colorado
Integrated Support for Mental Health and Substance Use — Together, Not Separately
If you’ve tried to get help before, you’ve probably heard this:
“We can’t treat your mental health until you’re sober.”
Or:
“We can’t help with addiction until your depression is under control.”
That’s not care. That’s a cycle.
And it leaves people, maybe even you, feeling like they’re failing, when the system is what’s broken.
At Ava Health, our approach to treating co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders was built for people with complex needs. We treat mental health and substance use together, with one integrated team, one coordinated plan, and one belief:
You are not too complicated. You are not too far gone. You’re just overdue for care that sees the full picture.
What Are Co-Occurring Disorders?
Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment in Grand Junction, Colorado
Co-occurring disorders (also called dual diagnosis) mean you’re dealing with both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder.
Not one before the other. Not one more important. Both. Right now.
This is the moment we stop fragmenting your care.
We treat the whole you, at once, with dignity, structure, and compassion.
You might be:
- Drinking to manage panic attacks
- Using pills to numb trauma
- Losing stability in mental health as your use increases
- Relapsing after a psychiatric discharge, or vice versa
- Told you’re not appropriate for care unless you fix one thing first
Why Integrated Care Is Non-Negotiable
At Ava Health, we don’t ask whether your addiction or mental health “came first.” That question misses the point and often delays real healing. Mental health and substance use are deeply connected, and treating them separately only creates gaps in care.
Instead, we ask one simple, essential question:
What support will actually move your life forward—right now and long-term?
Here’s how we deliver it:
- One coordinated treatment team that talks daily, not siloed providers
- Personalized care plans that address both symptom sets simultaneously
- Stabilization-to-transition model: Detox → Residential → PHP → IOP → OP → Housing
- Clinical and experiential therapies for trauma, substance use, and emotional regulation
- Care for families because co-occurring disorders impact more than one person
You Might Relate If...
If you’re looking for integrated care for mental health and substance use in Grand Junction, Colorado, chances are your experience with care has felt incomplete or disconnected. When mental health and substance use aren’t treated together, people often fall through the cracks despite doing everything they were told to do.
- You’ve been in treatment before but felt like no one saw the full picture
- You’ve had a provider ignore your substance use or ignore your trauma
- You’ve relapsed after a “successful” discharge
- You’ve been labeled “non-compliant,” “treatment resistant,” or “too complex”
- You’re tired of trying to fix one part of your life while the rest falls apart
Not Sure What You Need? That’s Okay.
You don’t need to figure it all out on your own.
You don’t need to choose between mental health or addiction support.
You just need to tell us what’s happening.
We’ll guide you from there.
For Families Seeking Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment in Grand Junction, Colorado
It’s heartbreaking to watch someone you love bounce between psych units, detox centers, and outpatient programs, none of which talk to each other. That fragmentation is often why families begin looking for co-occurring disorders treatment that actually addresses the full picture.
Maybe they got on meds but kept drinking.
Maybe they got sober, but the mood swings never stopped.
Maybe you’ve run out of ideas and trust.
We see your exhaustion. We understand your doubt.
And we’ve built Ava Health to help you navigate this, together.

“That’s when things finally started to change.”
