Recovery for both the body and mind
A mental illness is a medical condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can make daily functioning difficult and often occurs alongside substance use disorders (SUDs). Left untreated, mental illness can contribute to relapse, isolation, and chronic instability—but with the right care, recovery is possible.
At Federal City Recovery Services, we provide trauma-informed, evidence-based care for individuals living with mental health challenges. We recognize that mental illness is deeply connected to trauma, addiction, and social stressors, and we offer integrated support designed to treat the whole person.

Diagnostic assessments and treatment planning
Individual and group therapy using proven methods (e.g., CBT)
Psychiatric support and medication management
