Program for adults with mental health and dual diagnosis issues in Jackson, Tennessee. Dr. Harris will also be available to see traditional outpatient clients from the Jackson area. Dr. Harris specializes in the treatment of the adult addiction and dual diagnosis patient.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment Goals and Philosophy:

• To provide adults with a treatment option for mental health and dual diagnosis disorders in a confidential recovery environment.
• To use cognitive behavioral techniques in conjunction with a 12-step recovery model developed to address the psychological, social, and spiritual life of each individual and their family seeking help.
• To help return individuals to their family, job, and community equipped with the tools to sustain and maintain a lasting recovery program designed to bring joy back into their life.
• To help our client learn and grow from those in similar situations by ad- dressing feelings of shame, guilt, grief, depression, anger and fear affecting recovery not only from the program staff, but also from others through the group process.
• To identify relapse triggers and/or individual stressors that can hinder continued progress toward a happy, healthy lifestyle and to help our clients establish successful recovery plans and a successful support network.
• To enhance the coping skills of our clients for an improved quality of life through communication, problem solving, relaxation, meditation techniques, and assertiveness training.
• To encourage family members to participate in multi-family groups to sup- port their loved ones and to help begin repairing the damage caused by ad- diction and/or mental illnesses and to educate the individual and their family about the nature of mental health and addiction.
