Mental Health & SUD Care at ESOWOH HEALTH CARE
Treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is crucial for improving mental health, as the two are deeply interconnected
SUD often exacerbates conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma, creating a cycle that’s hard to break without proper care. Effective treatment not only helps individuals overcome addiction but also addresses underlying mental health challenges, paving the way for lasting recovery. By seeking treatment, individuals can regain balance, improve overall well-being, and rebuild healthier, more fulfilling lives.






Supporting every mind for generations starts with our commitment to YOU.

What Patient Say's
Dr. Fofanah is an exceptional listener and highly knowledgeable in both medical and legal aspects of care. Since working with him, I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in my focus, ability to work, and handling stress. He has been supportive, communicative with my wife during difficult times, and truly follows through on his commitment to help. I’m very grateful for his care and highly recommend him
Travis M
Dr. Fofanah is a great provider. I’ve had multiple sclerosis for 20 years and also live with Complex PTSD. I know by now when I’ve found a provider who’s easy to work with and truly on my side as a patient. He is a clear thinker and communicator, never falling back on the bureaucracy of the healthcare system. Dr. Fofanah works consistently and with integrity. His demeanor feels like that of a provider from 20 years ago—in the best way possible. He is also friendly and approachable.
Danielle R
Out of all the psychiatrists I’ve had, Dr. Fofanah has been the most attentive, patient, and thorough. He informed me of potential health issues I had never been made aware of, even after seeing multiple psychiatrists and being on the same medications for years. He is very easygoing, approachable, and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Dr. Fofanah to anyone whose insurance he accepts.
