our approach to wellness
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Recovery
Our Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Recovery program is designed to guide individuals through every step of their recovery journey using an integrated Mind, Body, and Spirit approach. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we provide personalized treatment plans that address both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction. Whether you’re seeking individual counseling or a structured recovery plan, our goal is to help you reclaim control over your life and achieve long-term sobriety.
Autism Spectrum Support
We offer specialized services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals on the Autism Spectrum. Our team works closely with families to develop customized support plans that enhance communication, social skills, and daily living activities. Through evidence-based therapies and compassionate care, we aim to provide individuals with autism the tools they need to thrive in their environments and live fulfilling lives.
Self-Determination Planning and Managing
Zinc Integrated specializes in helping individuals and families navigate, design, and implement California Self-Determination Plans with precision and care. We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment to identify each client’s unique goals, strengths, and support needs. From there, our team collaborates closely with clients, families, and Independent Facilitators to develop personalized spending plans that maximize the flexibility and choice offered under the SDP model. We handle the detailed planning process, including service selection, budgeting, and coordination of supports, to ensure every aspect of the plan is aligned with the client’s vision for independence and quality of life.
Adolescent Behavior and SUD
Adolescence is a critical time for development, and navigating behavioral challenges or substance use can be overwhelming for both teens and their families. Our Adolescent Behavior and Substance Use Disorder program offers comprehensive support to address behavioral issues, emotional regulation, and the underlying causes of substance use. Through family-centered care, individual counseling, and educational programs, we help adolescents build the skills and resilience they need to overcome challenges and build healthier futures.
Individualized SUD and Behavioral Interventions
Our Individualized SUD and Behavioral Interventions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each person, addressing both substance use disorders and behavioral challenges. With a focus on personalized care, we utilize evidence-based practices to create effective strategies that promote long-term recovery. Our compassionate team works closely with individuals to identify root causes, develop coping mechanisms, and provide ongoing support, empowering them to make lasting, positive changes.
Family Work
Our Family Healing and Recovery Program helps families and loved ones understand the substance use recovery process while providing tools to mend relationships impacted by addiction. Through educational workshops, family therapy, and compassionate guidance, we empower families to support their loved ones with empathy and build healthier communication patterns.
