Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health disorders that affect an individual’s mood, thinking, and behavior.
It is common for individuals to experience mental health concerns on occasion, but these concerns develop into mental health disorders when the signs and symptoms are ongoing and interfering with every aspect of the individual’s life.
A mental illness, if left untreated, can wreak havoc on an individual’s ability to function, and can create problems in many aspects of life including school, work, and relationships. It is important for individuals who are struggling with a mental health disorder to seek proper treatment to prevent future complications.
I truly have Akua Mind & Body to thank for getting me through one of the hardest stages of my life and setting me up for continued success. Within minutes of arriving, the Akua staff made me feel comfortable, and throughout my 30 day program everyone went above and beyond my expectations. To get my life back, I needed a full Mind & Body overhaul. This is why I chose Akua. Now that I am back home, I am extremely thankful for their alumni program. After building such a bond with staff and fellow clients, it’s wonderful to see them at weekly meetings and regular bbqs and outings. My family and friends are forever grateful to Akua for bringing back the wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend they know and love.
I went through the akua detox and residential program and had a great experience. I had been through detox once before but this time was so different. Not only did they make sure that medically my detox was as comfortable as possible but even more than that, the techs at the detox took care of me with emotional support. they were able to relate to me being that most had gone through detoxes themselves. Their support kept me there when I wanted to leave. After completing detox I transferred to the residential program and began working closely with my therapist. We were able to undercover such deep rooted issues I never even knew I struggled with. I met amazing people and developed lasting relationships. Im so glad I made the decision to go with akua!
My experience with akua was nothing short of amazing. I have been to many treatment centers and akua stood out amongst them all. The difference was the staff. Everyone there from the techs to administers genuinely cared about my well being. When going through something as difficult as addiction you have to rely heavily upon the people around you. I was able to do that at akua throughout my entire stay. I owe my life to the entire staff, thank you all!
I spent time here recovering from my addiction. The whole staff at Akua are amazing. They truly are there to help you succeed in overcoming your addiction. The level of care provided by this facility is second to none. They treat you like you are family. The food that is provided is truly amazing. All of the therapists at Akua are truly special people. I am so grateful for the time I spent at Akua.
Went to akua to treat my drug addiction and the underlying problems that contributed to it, and it saved my life. the staff are very supportive, the groups and therapy were informative and engaging, and the food was excellent. the environment helped me to transform one of the worst times of my life into a very healing and reflective experience, and i will be forever grateful.
Akua did everything for me that i at the time did not have the power to do for myself, they met me at my low point and through the experience of on site nurses, therapists, and techs, they helped me make it to a point where I felt able to help myself. They promoted a 12 step recovery program and showed me the early steps I needed to take in order to thrive in my recovery and my life. One of the biggest factors that contributed to my current mental and physical health being in good standing, is the alumni program, and after care offered by akua. It’s been months since I first undertook my rehabilitation with akua and I still regularly receive help from them and the community they’ve built for those of us in the throes of addiction, so that we never need be alone again in our struggles. I can’t recommend akua enough to those that need its help.

Regardless of the diagnosis, each mental health disorder should be taken seriously, and treatment should include medication (if appropriate) combined with psychotherapy. Sometimes treatment requires a length of stay at a residential treatment facility before the client can be treated on an outpatient basis.
Treatment for a mental health disorder is long-term and can last years or even throughout the individual’s life. This is mainly because there are no cures for mental illnesses.
AKUA Mind & Body’s Primary Mental Health Treatment Centers aim to lessen the symptoms associated with a specific disorder. With the proper treatment regimen, it is possible for an individual to be symptom-free for a long-term period.
