Mental Health Care at New Found Life

Mental health conditions may contribute to or exacerbate substance abuse for individuals with a dual diagnosis. As part of our comprehensive approach, we offer psychiatric assessments and treatment to determine the best way to treat mental health conditions and substance abuse simultaneously.

Some of the treatment options used to help clients heal from mental health disorders include: 

  • Antipsychotic medications
  • Antidepressants 
  • Community-based self-help groups 
  • Brain stimulation therapies
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of talk therapy
  • Electroconvulsive therapy

 

We offer treatment for mental health in Los Angeles, California, for those who are experiencing serious mental illness. Our experts use mental health therapy and other modalities to address the current conditions and underlying causes of addiction, mental health issues, and trauma. 

Prevalence of Co-Occurring Conditions

Research suggests that many people who develop substance use disorders (SUDs) are also diagnosed with mental health disorders, and vice versa. Common mental health disorders frequently coexist with SUD. For example, someone may have a personality disorder and alcohol use disorder (AUD).

Some of the mental health conditions treated at New Found Life include the following: 

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Schizophrenia 
  • Depression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Borderline states
  • Non-active eating disorders (EDs)

New Found Life uses an integrative approach to care, ensuring the well-being of individuals in treatment by addressing mental health problems alongside addiction treatment.

Full Suite of Services

Our clinical team tailors treatment plans that address both substance abuse and co-occurring conditions. The full suite of services at New Found Life includes:

  • Assessment: Every client undergoes a thorough assessment upon arrival. This assessment evaluates both substance use and potential mental health disorders to identify co-occurring conditions.
  • Appointments with Our Psychiatrist: If a co-occurring condition is suspected or identified, the client will consult with our staff psychiatrist. This consultation ensures a precise diagnosis and the development of an appropriate treatment plan.
  • Medication Management: If medication is deemed necessary, our team will administer and monitor it throughout the client’s stay. Regular follow-up appointments ensure that the medication is effective and that any side effects are promptly addressed.
  • Continuous Monitoring: We closely monitor our clients’ progress to ensure their success. Monitoring isn’t just about ensuring the effectiveness of the medication, but also about tracking improvements in the overall mental health of the individual. Regular sessions and check-ins provide insight into the client’s evolving mental state.
  • Integrative Therapy: In conjunction with psychiatric care, clients will engage in therapy sessions, group discussions, and other holistic treatments to address both their addiction and mental health needs.

By providing this comprehensive level of care, we see better outcomes such as reduced incidences of relapse. Clients also gain a better understanding of their mental health, how it impacts their addiction, and the tools they need to manage both.

How to Support a Loved One in Treatment

Family members participating in the recovery process improve outcomes for many individuals with mental health disorders or dual diagnoses. Mental health treatment often involves identifying the root causes of mental health issues and factors affecting recovery. For most people, family influences profoundly impact healing and mental health. 

Family therapy is one way we help clients and their loved ones build hope for the future. During family therapy, a mental health professional gives families the tools and information they need to successfully do the following: 

  • Provide practical and emotional support 
  • Actively listening 
  • Respect boundaries 
  • Identify and address unhealthy family dynamics 

Families also play a critical role in providing advocacy and support for their loved ones. We educate clients and their families on the warning signs of potential mental health issues to ensure they know when to reach out for help during ongoing recovery. In addition, a social worker or caregivers may work with families to help them navigate the treatment process of their loved one who struggles with severe behavioral health or addiction issues.

An individual with disabilities or a chronic medical condition affecting their ability to function may require different types of treatment. Our experts collaborate with families and other medical professionals to ensure that clients receive the best care tailored to their needs and specific circumstances.
