Updated: October 8, 2021

At Red Oak Recovery, we recognize that drug and alcohol addiction often co-occur with mental health conditions. In fact, research shows that millions of people suffer from both conditions simultaneously. If you’re battling addiction and mental health issues, then it is imperative to seek the best possible treatment. Several drug rehab programs help people overcome addiction. However, one of the most important is dual diagnosis treatment. Many people wonder, “What is dual diagnosis rehab?” Below is more information about how it can help young adults overcome addiction. For more information about how dual diagnosis treatment can help you overcome your mental health condition and substance use disorder, please contact Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590.

What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

To understand what dual diagnosis treatment involves, it’s important to know that addiction is a mental disorder. Once the brain develops a mental condition, it’s likely to develop another one. For example, some people suffer from both depression and addiction. Overall, addiction may cause depression or vice versa.

Dual diagnosis programs address both addiction and other underlying mental disorders. Most addiction treatment only addresses the addiction itself. Without addressing the other mental condition, however, people are likely to relapse after treatment.

How Dual Diagnosis Treatment Can Help

The main benefit of dual diagnosis treatment is that it addresses mental disorders simultaneously. Let’s say that a person struggles with depression. This person may turn to alcohol or other drugs for relief. However, the drugs numb the problem rather than fixing it.

Until the person gets help with this underlying problem,  he or she can’t overcome addiction. Fortunately, dual diagnosis programs also explore the events that initially lead to the development of other mental disorders.

Dual diagnosis treatment has a much higher success rate than traditional rehab. Experts assume the reason is that most people don’t suffer solely from addiction. The most common mental disorders that accompany the disease include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Schizophrenia

To learn more about the types of mental health conditions that can influence drug or alcohol addiction, please reach out to Red Oak Recovery today at 866.457.7590.

Programs That Rehab Centers Use During Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment is a collection of rehab programs. In fact, no one treatment plan works for everyone. Thus, the best rehab centers create custom plans that address individual needs. Dual diagnosis treatment allows rehab centers to change these plans as necessary. Your addiction treatment program will include both holistic and evidence-based treatment options. Holistic options address addiction’s damage to your mind, body, and soul. These may include experiential therapy or yoga therapy. Conversely, evidence-based treatments are therapies that experts in addiction treatment have studied extensively to determine whether they’re effective in treating addiction. For instance, our comprehensive addiction treatment services include:

  • Gender-specific substance use treatment
  • Holistic services
  • Family therapy
  • Group and individual counseling

Most dual diagnosis programs start with residential rehab. Afterward, clients can move on to an outpatient program. In both types of treatment, they participate in individual, group, and family therapies. Family counseling is important because it allows therapists to get an inside look at people’s daily lives.
