SAN DIEGO, March 6, 2024 (Newswire.com) - San Diego-based Park Mental Health Treatment of San Diego, a wellness facility located on El Cajon Boulevard, provides expert care to its clients in treating a variety of mental health issues. It integrates primary mental health treatment with a transitional care model, teaching clients to apply coping strategies with real-world application. Specifically, staff help clients create a healthy foundation by encouraging them to strengthen connections to family and the community by participating in employment and/or education initiatives.

With an emphasis on building healthy relationships, Park Mental Health looks for opportunities to improve their clients' lives. So when an opportunity arose to partner with a well-known nonprofit founded by family members of people diagnosed with mental illness, the organization was all in.

Leading up to its annual walk at Liberty Station, Park Mental Health is raising money to bring awareness to mental illness and most importantly, help the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) San Diego raise money to continue providing local resources to those who lack access.

NAMI advocates for access to services and treatment and supports research that raises awareness for families and individuals living with mental health conditions. This new, ongoing partnership will integrate invigorating resources into the lives of Park Mental Health clients.

“We decided to get involved as a company to raise awareness within staff, clients and families as we work towards breaking the stigma of mental health,” said Park Mental Health Program Director Mikayla Weathers. “Our clients are all individuals who could and do benefit from the resources NAMI provides.”

In addition to the partnership with NAMI, Park Mental Health is also working closely with Habitat for Humanity to provide on-the-job work experience for clients with no prior work experience to help them gain job readiness skills.

Each week, up to eight clients from Park Mental Health volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals in local communities and around the world build or improve a place they can call home. “The partnership with Habitat for Humanity came about through me recognizing our clients' significant struggle with integrating back into the workplace following a mental health crisis,” Weathers said.

The collaboration is important in that it allows clients who aren’t yet ready to jump back into work get some on-the-job practice with the support of Park Mental Health staff and Habitat for Humanity supervisors in a more compassionate way.

“The intention for this program is to help clients give back and find purpose in volunteerism while also learning work skills, social skills, and many finer skills that come with having a job,” Weathers said. “So far, our clients have enjoyed obtaining this support...”

Opportunities such as these allow clients at Park Mental Health to actively practice progress and recovery while giving them a sense of purpose and adding more recent work experience to their resume.

SAN DIEGO, March 6, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Addiction affects a person’s mental, emotional, social, physical and spiritual well-being. In the beginning of a person’s alcohol and/or drug use, it can often seem like one of the few solutions, and/or options. Many clients have little support from their family, friends and employers because of their use and addiction, which frequently leads to isolation and alienation. “It often starts as a coping mechanism to sooth emotional and mental stress,” said Mike Gallager, Shoreline Recovery Center’s Clinical Director. “Substance abuse is complete neglect of one’s own issues.”

It tends to unravel from there.

Gallager began his sober journey a decade ago and has been working as a clinician for the last five years at the North County-based facility. Like several staff and admin working at Shoreline Recovery Center, Gallager was previously a sober living resident and knows the repercussions of addiction well.

“In treatment, the consequences of their relationship to alcohol or drugs far outweighs the benefits of what it was producing for them and that’s when they come to us,” he said.

Many clients when they arrive aren’t just suffering from the addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, but are in need of additional help due to the physical neglect of their bodies.

As we know, addiction doesn’t just have physical consequences since drugs affect the body and brain.

“If you’re neglecting your physical self, you’re also neglecting your mental, social and emotional capacity,” Gallager said. “A lot of the biochemical processes are a function of something that happens in the brain.”

When a person stops drinking the brain doesn’t know that immediately and neurotransmitters excite the body, changing the chemical makeup of the brain and how it functions.

At Shoreline, the men are educated on preventative measures such as choosing healthier lifestyle choices and life skills that lead to a healthier lifestyle, including medication management, holistic practices and therapy.

“Emotional and psychological effects also contribute to poor heart health, depression and anxiety,” Gallager said. “All systems in the body suffer.”

Substance abuse only exacerbates mental health issues and complicates treatment with stress and exposure to trauma are often linked with drug use and addiction. Over time an addict’s heart begins to deteriorate, contributing to initial effects of heart disease and cardiovascular issues, including hypertension, as well as depression.

“In the short term it can change the stress response, and how a person experiences panic,” Kubota said.

Long term effects include cirrhosis of liver, gastrointestinal issues, esophageal varices (issues in their esophagus and lining of the stomach), stomach cancer and diabetes and can turn fatal with myocarditis and strokes.

At Shoreline Recovery Center, clients are exposed to a therapeutic approach that provides the necessary guidance necessary to overcome addiction to drugs, alcohol and other harmful substance use disorders.
