DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT

Treatment for Mental Health & Substance Abuse

Dual diagnosis is when there is a mental health condition alongside a substance use disorder. If not treated together, this can complicate recovery, as the presence of one can exacerbate the symptoms of the other. For instance, someone grappling with depression might resort to alcohol as a coping mechanism, which in turn, may deepen their depressive episodes. Recognizing the intricate interplay between these disorders is central to the comprehensive treatment approach at New Found Life.

Simultaneous Treatment

Addressing only one disorder, like substance abuse, without attending to an underlying anxiety disorder, can be akin to fixing a leaky boat’s hole while ignoring another, leading to suboptimal recovery outcomes. By not addressing both disorders, the untreated condition can trigger a stifled recovery or a relapse.

Common Co-Occurring Disorders

Some commonly diagnosed conditions we treat include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder

Clinical Practices

Each client undergoes a thorough assessment upon admission to ensure we have a complete picture for our treatment planning. Our psychiatrist remains actively involved throughout a client’s healing journey, adjusting and advising treatments as necessary. We also use an array of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This psychotherapeutic intervention helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, cultivating healthier behaviors in the process.
  • Motivational Enhancement Therapy: Helps in bolstering a client’s motivation to become and remain sober.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): This modality emphasizes acceptance and change, helping individuals cope with painful emotions and reduce conflict in relationships.
  • Individual Therapy: Our one-on-one sessions are designed specifically for men, addressing deep-seated conditions that often stem from trauma. This specialized approach ensures personal attention, facilitating healing and understanding on an individual level.
  • Group Therapy: Through our psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral group counseling, men discover that they are not alone in their struggles and challenges. This shared experience within the group setting fosters a sense of unity and mutual support, enhancing the therapeutic process.
