Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the basic self-care tasks essential for independent living, such as eating, dressing, hygiene, and managing daily routines. At Emend Health, focusing on ADLs helps clients regain independence, structure, and confidence as they progress through recovery.
The Foundation of ADLs
ADLs are critical for overall health, well-being, and functional independence. Substance use, mental health challenges, or trauma can disrupt an individual’s ability to perform these tasks consistently. By assessing and supporting ADLs, treatment programs help clients rebuild essential life skills, establish daily routines, and regain a sense of personal control.
Focusing on ADLs allows clients to strengthen independence, establish structure, and reinforce healthy habits, key components of long-term recovery. By mastering these essential tasks, individuals can reduce stress, increase confidence, and maintain stability in their daily lives.

If emotions, behavior, or substance use begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, work, or overall well-being, it may be time to seek help. Treatment offers a guided space to understand what’s happening, identify the root of the problem, and take steps toward stability and healing. Even if you’re unsure, a professional assessment can provide clarity.
Yes. We specialize in treating mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions that involve both. Our integrated approach ensures clients receive support for all aspects of their health—emotional, behavioral, and physical—so nothing gets overlooked during the recovery process.
The process begins with a confidential assessment where our team learns about your symptoms, challenges, and goals. From there, we determine the most appropriate level of care and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. We walk you through each step, explain what to expect, and help arrange logistics if needed—so you’re never navigating it alone.
Absolutely. Every client receives an individualized treatment plan based on their unique history, needs, and progress. Our clinicians regularly evaluate each person’s growth, adjusting methods and interventions as needed. Treatment evolves over time to ensure that it remains effective, supportive, and aligned with long-term goals.
Treatment length depends on the level of care and each individual’s needs. Some clients begin with short-term stabilization, while others benefit from longer therapeutic support. Rather than focusing on a rigid timeline, we focus on measurable progress and readiness for the next step—so healing happens at a pace that’s effective and sustainable.
