Understanding Dual Diagnosis: Addressing Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder
What Is Dual Diagnosis and Why It’s Essential for Lasting Recovery?
It is not uncommon for substance or alcohol use disorders to co-exist with mental health disorders, which is when dual diagnosis treatment should be provided. This treatment is essential in addressing the client’s needs, from drug or alcohol abuse to mental health and trauma. Lifestyle changes happen when you receive a full spectrum of whole-person care, and Red Rock Recovery Center is here for you.
Specialized Programs for Dual Diagnosis at Red Rock Recovery Center
Inpatient Detox and Residential Programs – The Foundation of Recovery
Detox is the first step of recovery, which removes the body’s physical dependency on the substance you’re addicted to. We provide a medically supervised detox to help you overcome withdrawal symptoms as comfortably as possible.
From there, residential or inpatient treatment is traditionally the next phase of recovery. Here, you stay at our facility and participate in evidence-based and holistic therapies to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Both detox and residential treatment surround you with supportive peers and staff to help you reach your recovery goals in a safe, secure environment.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) for Structured Daily Support
PHP is a highly structured extended-care treatment program that ensures you stay on the right track after inpatient treatment. Our program runs for four to eight weeks, depending on your needs, and offers you six hours of clinical care per week. This includes access to holistic activities, individual and group counseling, and behavioral therapies, which are key to dual diagnosis treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Sober Living in Lakewood, Colorado
Our IOP and Ascent Sober Living Program are structured, community-centered programs that are part of our extended care program.
In IOP, you have access to a supportive community and quality care, from evidence-based to holistic treatments and therapies, while still living at home. This is a flexible option for full-time employees and/or parents. Sober living is another option that can last from two to four months and requires you to stay sober while in the program and at our facility, helping you transition from Red Rock Recovery Center to your normal routines and/or other long-term care options.
Evidence-Based Therapies for Dual Diagnosis Recovery
Trauma-Informed Care and Healing Past Wounds
Healing from the past is part of the recovery journey, which is why a trauma-informed approach to treatment is important. Trauma-informed care empowers the client in recovery by giving them confidence in themselves and their ability to heal, creating a trustworthy and safe environment to support their healing, and listening to the client to meet their needs most effectively.
Individual Counseling and Group Therapy – Building Community and Purpose
Behavioral therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), are important in dual diagnosis treatment. At Red Rock Recovery Center, behavioral therapies are incorporated into individual counseling sessions so you can explore your addiction, mental health, and behaviors on a deeper level. In group therapy, you build a community with others who share similar recovery goals and experiences to grow together, heal together, support one another, and find a new purpose in your newly sober lives.
Exploring Holistic Healing: EMDR, Yoga, and Mindfulness Practices
Holistic healing happens in many ways to address your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health needs, and Red Rock Recovery Center has various options for you to choose from. Yoga and mindfulness are two practices clients may engage with to invite peace into their lives, intimately explore their inner selves, reduce stress, and improve their mind-body connection. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy that helps you process traumatic experiences, such as upsetting memories, thoughts, and feelings related to your trauma, to relieve you of your post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms.
