Rolling Hills, CA 90274
We treat all mental health and substance use issues at Roots, with a focus on trauma. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, alcoholism or drug abuse, we believe that underneath these issues is unresolved trauma. For many, this trauma may have come as a result of adverse childhood experiences, such as divorce, abuse or neglect, observing violence or being the victim of bullying; while for others, it could be a more recent experience. Our goal is to identify and treat the trauma through our trauma-focused care, build resilience, and provide tools and healthy coping skills to help deal with triggers and future issues that arise. The result of doing this work is a reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms, suicidal ideation, and no longer needing to turn to alcohol or substances to cope with feelings triggered by trauma.

We provide comprehensive inpatient treatment programs specifically designed for your needs. Dual diagnosis can be difficult to identify, since the symptoms of one of the disorders often mimics the symptoms of another disorder. Improper diagnosis and insufficient dual diagnosis treatment leads to a poor outcome. And for this very reason, many people do not receive the kind of help that will put them on the right track. Disorders such as depression, anxiety and bipolar combined with alcoholism and drug addiction will create this dilemma. Often a mental health condition occurs first, however most people try to "self medicate" with drugs and alcohol in order to feel normal but not realizing that this may lead to chemical or drug dependency.
