Mental Health & Addiction Treatment

We Are A Complete Dual Diagnosis Addiction Treatment Program

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Treatment for co-occurring disorders involves a process of ongoing change in which the individual receives intensive treatment for both the addiction and the underlying mental health disorder. Complicating matters, the drug addiction or abuse symptoms may mask or mimic the mental health issues. Diagnosis, therefore, is a complicated process that requires careful monitoring during the detox phase, continuing through aftercare, and establishing ongoing support.

Mental Health Disorders That Occur With Substance Abuse

Depression

Depression disorder is a type of mood disorder that can stem from a variety of life events or chemical imbalances in your brain. Knowing the different types of depression can help gain a better understanding as to why you or a loved one might be depressed, and what type of help they need.

Depression

Anxiety

If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, you may feel varying degrees of stress and distress that can prevent you from enjoying a normal life. Constant fear, worry, and the feeling of being completely overwhelmed are common complaints and can amount to a crippling disability.

Anxiety

Bipolar

Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a mental condition that causes extreme shifts in a person’s mood, energy levels, thinking, and behavior. While we all have our ups and downs, the severe mood swings characterized by bipolar disorder are so significant that they impair a person’s ability to function.

Bipolar

Trauma/PTSD

Trauma disorders can arise as a result of direct exposure to a traumatic event or being a first-hand witness to the death, the threat of death, serious injury (whether actual or threatened), sexual violence, or repeated direct or indirect exposure to any of these events.

Dual Diagnosis Therapy Types

A range of therapies is offered at Peaks Recovery because we know one size does not fit all. We are able to combine these in-depth modalities in order to successfully promote healing, growth, and foundations. Through our inclusive treatment program and dual diagnosis, we are able to address addiction, as well as addiction-related to mental health concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the modification of dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by exposing negative or irrational beliefs that commonly accompany an addicted person’s justification for the maladaptive behaviors associated with drug and alcohol addiction.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides therapeutic skills in four key areas: Mindfulness, Distress, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Though this treatment modality was first developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder it is also used to treat: addiction, PTSD, and more.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is generally utilized as a short-term therapeutic intervention and is one of the most common evidence-based approaches used to evoke change. The clinician encourages patients to discuss their need for change and reasons for change and the clinician then reflects back the patient’s reasoning and motivation for change so that the patient can hear the appropriateness of their reasoning.

EMDR Trauma Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a nontraditional therapy-like CBT, DBT, etc.-that uses a patient’s own rapid, rhythmic eye movements to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorders, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety with the primary goal being to weaken the negative emotions associated with disturbing memories that might otherwise create a debilitating response.

Somatic Experience (SE)

Somatic Experience (SE) is among the newest evidence-based approaches for treating PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. SE focuses on restoring the central nervous system back to equilibrium to give the individual a greater sense of safety. The idea is that someone suffering from PTSD and trauma will experience sustained healing when the nervous system regains equilibrium.

Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT)

Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) is a common cognitive behavioral therapy approach that is designed to teach individuals who are trying to maintain changes in their behavior how to anticipate and cope with the problem of relapse. As the saying goes, the relapse happens prior to the actual use of drugs or alcohol. RPT seeks to address the reality of the relapse before it happens.

More on Dual Dual Diagnosis

What are co-occurring disorders?

Did you know the language of co-occurring disorders does not mean the same thing as Dual Diagnosis? Dual Diagnosis requires both a mental health AND substance use disorder happening contemporaneously. For example, reoccurring major depressive states are separate from the reoccurring use and abuse of marijuana. A co-occurring disorder is a causal chain of events. Prolonged, daily abuse of marijuana with high levels of THC can induce or contribute to mental illness such as psychosis or major anxiety. Alternatively, abusing marijuana may have never been an issue in a person’s life until they experienced a significant unassociated manic episode. The manic episode may compel a person to abuse marijuana in a way that otherwise would not have happened.

Understanding the differences between the two issues matters. Families will often say things like, “my daughter needs help with her depression and her heroin addiction.” This is referencing a dual diagnosis issue only if the two disorders are happening contemporaneously. Families might say, “my daughter needs help with her depression and her heroin addiction,” but misunderstand the fact that the depression contributed to the heroin use and the specific treatment that should be provided would be to address the depressive disorder as a primary disorder rather than the heroin as a primary disorder. To be clear, both depressive disorder and heroin abuse are concerns, but the order in which you address the issues matters.

How common are co-occurring disorders?

Addressing the differences between dual diagnosis and co-occurring matters when delivering care. 25% of all people who abuse drugs and alcohol also have a significant mental health disorder which is a dual diagnosis concern. Certain illicit drugs can cause a person to experience mental health disorders such as psychosis which is a co-occurring disorder and is more common than a true dual diagnosis.

What is self-medication?

Self-medication is an attempt to quell underlying physiological or psychological symptoms without a doctor’s orders or consent to do so. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but this is not appropriate behavior. Overcoming a major depressive disorder takes time, however, it’s more instantly gratifying to quell those symptoms now according to individuals who choose to self-medicate. Playing the role of a doctor though can have significant consequences, even death.

What are the symptoms of Dual Diagnosis?

Symptoms: withdrawal from friends and family; sudden changes in behavior, using dangerous forms of drugs and also in dangerous situations; risky behaviors; loss of control over the use of substances; high tolerance; feeling like drugs make you more functional, and more.
