Next Step, Mental Health and Substance Abuse

The Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board integrates the treatment of substance use disorders with behavioral health therapies to form the Next Step Day Treatment Program. Combining the resources of both fields results in a dynamic program capable of addressing the needs of consumers having one or several diagnoses, such as those individuals with alcohol or drug dependence or simple depression or anxiety, and those individuals with addiction or multiple substances also suffering from bi-polar disorder, depression, PTSD, or compulsive behaviors. The disorders may be independent of each other, yet they invariably influence each other to some degree.
