Dual-Diagnosis Treatment & Mental Health Therapy
Our Approach to Dual-Diagnosis Addiction Treatment
Effective addiction treatment must do much more than simply separate people from substances. Addiction is an incredibly complex condition that can vary substantially from person to person. While the symptoms and consequences of addiction are often similar — the reasons why different people become addicted and stay that way can be very different.
At Redemption Recovery, we believe that the key to lasting sobriety is highly individualized addiction treatment. The only way to tailor an addiction treatment plan to an individual is to truly understand their background and what led them to substance abuse.
It’s about much more than the particular substance a person uses, be it opioids, alcohol, or benzodiazepines. It means a thorough mental health evaluation followed by support and treatment for any co-occurring conditions. A complete picture is needed to build a road map to recovery that truly fits.
When tailoring an individual addiction treatment plan, we must ask questions like:
- What makes this person’s experience unique, i.e. trauma, ACEs?
- Have they ever been diagnosed and treated for a co-occurring condition, like anxiety?
- What are this person’s triggers? What are the patterns that preclude relapse for them?
- What have they not shared with a therapist? What is undiagnosed and untreated?
Why Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders is Critical
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a type of intensive out No one should have to live with a mental health condition like depression, anxiety, or PTSD without getting treatment. Mental health disorders undermine your quality of life and well-being. They can upset everything from healthy relationships to academic or career prospects.
But for people with a dual diagnosis that includes addiction and a mental health disorder, the stakes are even higher. Untreated or undertreated mental health disorders like depression or anxiety are among the leading causes of relapse.
A person with a co-occurring condition may receive good addiction treatment, and follow recommendations only to relapse time and time again — if they do not get dual-diagnosis treatment.
Dual-diagnosis treatment is essential because many people with substance use disorders are not even aware they have a secondary diagnosis. They deserve an accurate diagnosis and mental health treatment — in fact, they need these things to have a fighting chance against addiction.
Dual-Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders: By the Numbers
- At least 64% of the people who admit to substance use disorder treatment have a co-occurring condition.
- More than 43% of people who see help for painkiller addiction also have depression and/or anxiety.
- At least 61% of U.S. adults have had at least one ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) AKA childhood trauma.
- Having even one significant ACE increases your risk of developing drug or alcohol addiction by up to 400%.
- One study found that 81% of women and 69% of men in addiction recovery were victims of physical and/or sexual abuse.
Addiction Therapy and Dual-Diagnosis Care at Redemption Recovery
Our approach to substance use disorder treatment and mental health care at Redemption Recovery is likely different than what you may have seen at other treatment programs. This is because we take a much more goal-oriented view than the average drug and alcohol rehab. We aim to carefully diagnose and treat co-occurring conditions here, as well as help patients unravel past trauma and understand their triggers.
The dual-diagnosis program at Redemption Recovery does something most do not. We recognize that most of the work of recovery happens after alcohol and drug rehab and we build our curriculum accordingly.
From Powerlessness to Purpose: Our Dual-Diagnose Care in Action
Our mission is to give every person we have the privilege to treat a greater understanding of themselves. We are focused on empowering people. In our view, too many people with substance use disorders feel disenfranchised and victimized. When they leave other addiction rehabs, they feel frightened by the world and the prospect of staying sober feels daunting.
The substance abuse treatment experience at Redemption Recovery in Ohio is something entirely different. We prepare the people we treat to enter recovery with confidence and conviction. Our patients have a clear understanding of themselves.
They feel empowered to advocate for themselves. Most importantly of all, they have the tools they need to continue to grow and progress long after they complete the addiction treatment program at our Ohio campus.
Effective dual-diagnosis treatment:
- Gives people a clear understanding of their diagnoses.
- Empowers people with powerful, healthy coping mechanisms.
- Instills a sense of ownership and responsibility for your recovery.
- Grants people the confidence to self-advocate and take the right kind of chances.
Mental Health Therapy Approaches and Modalities
At Redemption Recovery, we use a range of approaches to help the people we care for understand their behavior and become more aware of thinking patterns that work against their best interests. We teach them how to isolate and deconstruct these thoughts, impulses, and obsessions and develop new ways of understanding and interpreting the world around them.
Some of the approaches we utilize include:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
Considered the gold standard among psychotherapy methods — CBT in our dual-diagnosis rehab setting involves identifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that can lead to substance use. We teach healthy coping strategies and skills for managing stress and avoiding triggers. The objective is behavior modification through greater awareness of unhealthy thought and behavior patterns and replacing these with positive alternatives.
Strength-Based Therapy
One of the unique approaches to treating addiction and co-occurring disorders at our Ohio addiction program is strengths-based therapy. This approach focuses on inherent strengths and resources rather than weaknesses or flaws. It empowers individuals to use their personal strengths to overcome addiction, fostering resilience, self-efficacy, and a positive self-image. The idea is to support growth recovery by building on existing capabilities and potential. This next-generation, evidence-based approach is proven to deliver better outcomes.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapies use meditation, relaxation, and awareness exercises to help focus on the present moment, aiming over time to experience day-to-day situations and stressors in nonjudgmental and non-reactionary ways. Where strengths-based therapy focuses on empowerment and esteem, the mindfulness-based approach helps increase awareness and provides powerful methods for managing stress and interrupting unhelpful thoughts and impulses.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Similar to strengths-based therapy in that it is centered on optimism, empowerment, and what is possible and within reach. SFBT is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. It helps people visualize a future without addiction and identify the steps needed to achieve this. SFBT focuses on the present and future, fostering optimism and self-efficacy in the recovery process.
