GENE TESTING SERVICES
Personalized Recovery Through Genetic Insight
We integrate genetic testing into our evidence-based model for trauma, addiction, and mental health treatment. This approach helps our clinicians understand how your body processes medications, responds to stress, and regulates mood.
What Gene Testing Reveals
Genetic testing identifies variations that affect:
- How your body metabolizes psychiatric or pain medications
- Sensitivity to stress, trauma, and environmental triggers
- Sleep, mood regulation, and emotional resilience pathways
These insights allow our clinical team to refine treatment decisions, from medication management to therapy modalities, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Why It Matters in Recovery
For clients in recovery or long-term aftercare, understanding genetic predispositions helps stabilize both mental and physical health.
Gene testing can:
- Reduce trial-and-error in medication
- Reduce negative side effects
- Support more effective trauma and mood regulation therapy
- Clarify biological contributors to anxiety, depression, and addiction
This is precision medicine applied to behavioral health: evidence meeting empathy.
