Comprehensive Co-Occurring Treatment That Addresses Root Causes
At Wings Recovery, we specialize in integrated care for mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders, addressing both simultaneously.
Our integrative, trauma-focused approach looks beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of emotional distress, helping clients find clarity, balance, and sustainable wellness.
By addressing mental, emotional, and physical health, we create stability to support lasting, long-term growth.
Conditions We Treat
Mood Disorders
- Depression and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
- Bipolar I and Bipolar II Disorders
- Cyclothymic and other mood dysregulation conditions
These mood-based conditions can deeply affect motivation, relationships, and self-image. Our team combines evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and medication management to help stabilize mood and restore hope.
Anxiety and Stress Disorders
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Panic Disorder and Panic Attacks
- Social Anxiety and Phobias
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Anxiety often coexists with trauma, perfectionism, or unresolved loss. Our clinicians use therapies like EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic work to reduce nervous system hyperarousal and help clients find calm, grounded confidence.
Trauma and Dissociative Disorders
- Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Relational and Developmental Trauma
- Dissociative Episodes or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
- Grief and Loss
Our trauma-specialized clinicians focus on safety and integration – helping clients process difficult memories, reduce flashbacks, and reconnect with their sense of self through evidence-based trauma therapy.
Personality Disorders
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and related traits
- Trauma-based patterns such as avoidant, dependent, or obsessive-compulsive personality traits
- Emotional regulation challenges, attachment injuries, and interpersonal difficulties
- Co-occurring patterns of narcissistic or histrionic behavior when connected to trauma or mood disorders
Personality-based struggles often stem from attachment wounds or chronic invalidation. Our gender-specific DBT and IFS programs help clients build emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, and self-compassion.
Co-Occurring Substance Use Disorders
- Alcohol use or relapse prevention for clients in early recovery
- Cannabis or prescription medication misuse connected to trauma, anxiety, or mood regulation
- Substance use patterns that co-occur with depression, PTSD, or emotional dysregulation
Wings integrates relapse prevention, Seeking Safety, and Motivational Interviewing with trauma therapy to treat substance use at its emotional root – creating pathways to sustainable sobriety and restored self-trust.
Other Common Co-Occurring Issues
- Self-harm and suicidal ideation (non-crisis)
- Emotional dysregulation
- Attachment and relationship difficulties
- Chronic stress, burnout, and perfectionism
- Identity development and life transitions
These patterns often overlap with trauma or mood instability. Wings helps clients identify underlying causes and build the coping skills needed for healthy, sustainable change.
Our dual diagnosis, comprehensive care model provides the framework to move beyond symptom management, and supports clients in achieving complete healing
Complete Continuum of Care for Every Stage of Healing
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. At Wings Recovery, our treatment evolves with you from 24/7 support in our residential program to flexible structure in our outpatient levels of care.
Our Levels of Care
Residential Treatment (RTC)
For those needing immersive, around-the-clock care, our residential program provides 24/7 therapeutic support in safe, comfortable homes. Clients engage in daily individual and group therapy sessions, structured wellness routines, and trauma-focused programming guided by licensed clinicians.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Designed as a step-down or entry point for individuals needing intensive, structured treatment during the day, PHP offers several hours of therapy and clinical support daily while allowing clients to return to supportive housing or home each evening.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
For those ready for greater independence, IOP provides continued therapeutic support several days per week, reinforcing coping skills, emotional regulation, and community connection while balancing school, work, or family responsibilities.
This seamless continuum allows every client to progress at their own pace without the disruption of starting over in a new setting. Our consistent team of clinicians ensures that your goals, progress, and therapeutic relationships carry forward across each level of care, creating lasting stability and trust.
With this integrated approach, Wings Recovery provides the flexibility, structure, and continuity needed for long-term success.
Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies That foster Healing
At Wings Recovery, we know that healing takes more than one approach. That’s why our programs combine clinically proven therapies with holistic, mind-body practices to help clients process trauma, manage symptoms, and build emotional resilience.

Gender-Specific Men’s and Women’s Programs Built on Safety, Trust, and Connection
Healing looks different for everyone and gender shapes how people experience trauma, relationships, and recovery. That’s why Wings Recovery offers gender-specific programs that create an atmosphere of safety, understanding, and authentic connection.
Our men’s and women’s programs are housed in separate, beautifully maintained residences, allowing clients to heal among peers who share similar life experiences and emotional challenges. This separation provides a supportive environment where vulnerability is met with empathy, and growth happens without judgment or distraction.
Women’s Mental Health Program
Our Women’s Program focuses on healing trauma, rebuilding self-worth, and developing tools for emotional regulation and empowerment. Many women come to Wings seeking relief from PTSD, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, or relational trauma.
Therapists guide women through evidence-based and holistic therapies that address the impact of societal pressures, past abuse, and perfectionism. The goal is to help women reconnect with their voice, restore trust in themselves, and cultivate a balanced, confident sense of identity.
Men’s Mental Health Program
Our Men’s Program addresses the unique ways men experience and express emotional pain. Many men have learned to suppress feelings or face stigma when reaching out for help. Wings creates a space where men can explore vulnerability safely, learning healthy emotional expression, stress management, and interpersonal connection.
We specialize in helping men work through trauma, anger, addiction, relationship issues, and mood disorders while building emotional intelligence, confidence, and community support.
Both programs share the same clinical excellence and individualized approach Wings is known for. Clients benefit from gender-specific group therapy, trauma processing, psychoeducation, and holistic sessions like mindfulness and equine therapy.
Gender-specific treatment also promotes stronger peer relationships and long-term success. When clients can openly discuss experiences like grief, shame, body image, parenting, or identity within a shared context, it leads to deeper insight and genuine healing.
At Wings Recovery, gender-informed programming is about creating the most effective, compassionate environment for recovery. Whether you join our men’s or women’s program, you’ll find a place of understanding, strength, and belonging that supports every step of your healing journey.
