How Does Dual Diagnosis Treatment Work?
Dual diagnosis treatment provides patients with individualized care that is tailored to address their needs during recovery. This may include a variety of modalities including:
- Psychotherapeutic sessions
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Support groups
- Group and individual treatment
- Medication (when needed)
A program that provides dual diagnosis treatment is structure to treat co-occurring disorders simultaneously instead of one after or before another. Treatment regimens in facilities that offer dual diagnosis treatment are built to fit the unique needs and issues that each patient faces, with the understanding that every patient comes to the program with different traumas and histories.
Dual diagnosis programs treat drug and alcohol use disorders and addiction while also addressing:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bi-polar disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
During a dual diagnosis treatment program, patients learn how their mental health disorders and substance use disorders affect and often feed each other, creating a vicious circle. It is not uncommon for person’s suffering from mental health issues to “self-treat” or “self-medicate”, using drugs or alcohol to avoid or manage their symptoms. The drugs and alcohol mask the issue rather than helping to treat it and can cause symptoms to worsen over time.
