Importance Of Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
Substance abuse often develops from an underlying mental health issue like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, etc. Most people diagnosed with a mental disorder often consume alcohol or drugs to seek temporary relief from their mental health symptoms. Over time, this behavior can develop into an addiction. Seeking help from a mental health and substance use rehab center can help you overcome your psychiatric problems and treat your addiction at the same time.
The presence of a dual diagnosis condition can make the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction more difficult. Co-occurring addiction treatment centers specialize in offering therapies that help alleviate mental illness. Besides, the therapists at a co-occurring disorder treatment center will teach essential coping mechanisms and survival skills, helping you manage triggers and stressful situations using a healthy and rational approach.

Therapies Used to Treat Dual Diagnosis
Several science-based and holistic therapies help treat comorbid conditions or dual diagnosis. psychotherapies we use at our treatment facility include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Our therapists encourage recovering addicts to introspect and understand their thought processes to change their behavior. We address the psychological problems rooted in the thinking processes and unhelpful behavior and use CBT to teach effective coping techniques that alleviate the symptoms.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) focuses on mindfulness and emotional regulation. The mind-body connection is crucial to treating any unseen illness or disorder. The physical body and its sensations can get neglected during mental turmoil. We use specific strategies to help recovering addicts regain control over their minds, body, and soul during DBT sessions.
- Support Groups – Support group meetings offer a variety of benefits and opportunities for patients in recovery. We moderate support group communities like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Al-Anon, and Double Trouble in Recovery (DTR) (an organization designed for those suffering from dual diagnosis).
