Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers California

Dual diagnosis treatment is designed to target both addiction and mental illness simultaneously. Mental illness, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, and others, can be debilitating if not treated properly with therapy, medication, or both. 

People with mental health issues often use substance abuse to self-medicate, therefore, if they are not receiving adequate care. As a result, mental health issues and substance abuse tend to feed off of each other, making it harder for an individual to get and stay sober. Dual diagnosis treatment customizes therapy to address both mental health and addiction goals.

Patients at our dual diagnosis treatment center can focus on getting mental health and substance abuse treatment. Dual diagnosis rehab provides support from clinical professionals trained in treating co-occurring disorders. Moreover, they use dialectical behavior therapy and rational emotive therapy to help individuals combat not healthy coping skills.

Alcohol and drug addiction treatment may also include family therapy or group therapy, depending on the patient’s goals for recovery. Still, those within the dual diagnosis program can expect to take part in the following:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

This type of therapy focuses on the social aspect of mental health. Especially on triggers that have led to substance use in a patient’s past. A person who participates in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) will work to recognize and manage their emotions through healthy coping skills instead of turning to substance abuse for stress relief. Examples of DBT could include mindfulness practices and healthy stress management.

Rational Emotive Therapy

Where DBT focuses most on external feelings and interactions, rational emotive therapy (RET) deals with the internal. Specifically, this therapy aimed to identify negative personal beliefs and thought patterns that have caused substance abuse in the past. Through unconditional self-acceptance and regular self-love practices, a person struggling with addiction can learn to believe in and pursue a better, sober life.
