Improve Recovery Outcomes CMHA uses a personal and supportive approach, creating treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs. Therapies include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), trauma-focused care, and multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) for youth and families. These methods help reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and support lasting recovery. Enhance Support Systems Programs serve clients’ cultural and community needs. The Latino/Latina Substance Abuse Program offers bilingual, bicultural care. Families and teens get support at home and school, while adults can access employment help through the Center for Employment Development.
