What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment is a specialized form of care used to treat co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders simultaneously. Individuals with co-occurring disorders face unique struggles with substance use and mental health since both conditions impact one another in significant ways. 

Our dual diagnosis treatment integrates various therapeutic approaches, medication management, counseling, support groups, and holistic therapies to provide comprehensive care in a caring and supportive environment. Our approach of providing complete care allows individuals to start with a program that best meets their current needs and gradually transition to our other treatment programs to achieve and maintain long-term successful recovery.  

How Do I Know I’m a Good Fit for Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

You might be a good fit for one of our dual diagnosis treatment programs when you are struggling with substance use and have mental health issues. Some signs that indicate dual diagnosis treatment could be beneficial for you include: 

  • You use substances to help manage the symptoms of a mental health disorder, such as depression or anxiety.
  • Your substance use has resulted in the development of mental health symptoms, like sadness, anxiety, guilt, worthlessness, or self-harm and suicidal thoughts. 
  • You are engaging in risky behaviors and activities, such as unprotected sex with multiple partners, sharing needles, or putting others at risk of injury. 
  • You no longer find pleasure in activities and hobbies you used to enjoy.
  • Your substance use has damaged relationships.
  • You are having difficulties managing your daily routines and responsibilities in favor of using substances. 
  • You are unable to cut down or discontinue substances despite any continued negative consequences. 

Signs and Symptoms of a Dual Diagnosis Disorder

The signs and symptoms of a dual diagnosis disorder vary based on the substance being used, amount used, frequency of use, duration of use, and specific mental health disorder. However, some common signs and symptoms that indicate the presence of a co-occurring disorder include: 

  • Mood swings or intense emotional fluctuations.
  • Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, anxiety, or paranoia.
  • Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping).
  • Changes in appetite (eating too much or not eating at all). 
  • Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things.
  • Increased irritability, aggression, impulsiveness, or risk-taking behaviors.
  • Using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with emotional distress.
  • Withdrawal from social activities and relationships from mood instability and substance use.

Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program

Our dual diagnosis treatment program offers a comprehensive continuum of care tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders. Our programs provide different levels of care, including:

  • Detox: Safe and supervised detoxification services to help clients safely manage withdrawal symptoms from drugs or alcohol with treatment for mental health symptoms.
  • Residential Treatment: Inpatient residential programs that provide round-the-clock support, therapy, counseling, and medical supervision in a structured environment conducive to healing and recovery.
  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): A day program that offers intensive therapy, group sessions, individual counseling, medication management, and holistic interventions while allowing clients to return home or stay in sober living housing at night.
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): An outpatient program with more flexibility than our PHP that allows clients to attend therapy sessions several times per week while still maintaining their daily responsibilities such as work or school.
  • Outpatient Program (OP): Continued and ongoing support with individual and group therapy sessions, relapse prevention planning, and aftercare services designed to promote long-term sobriety and mental wellness.

What to Expect at Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers in Georgia and Tennessee

At Evoraa Health’s dual diagnosis treatment centers in Georgia and Tennessee, clients can expect a comprehensive and integrative approach to healing and recovery that includes:

  • Initial Evaluation and Assessment: Upon admission, each client undergoes a thorough evaluation to assess their mental health, substance use history, medical needs, and any co-occurring disorders. This information guides the development of an individualized treatment plan.
  • Individual Therapy: Personalized therapy sessions with licensed therapists or counselors to explore underlying issues, set recovery goals, develop coping strategies, and work through emotional challenges.
  • Group Therapy: Supportive group therapy sessions where clients connect with peers facing similar struggles, share experiences, gain insights from others’ perspectives, learn new skills, practice interpersonal communication, and support one another.
  • Holistic Therapy: Holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation, art therapy, and mindfulness promote overall wellness, improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and restore the mind-body connection. 
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Some individuals may benefit from MAT using prescription medications to reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and manage mental health symptoms. 
  • Spravto (Ketamine) Therapy: Spravto can be an effective therapeutic treatment option to address depression, anxiety, PTSD, other mental health disorders, and substance use disorders. 
  • Psychiatry: Clients work with one of our psychiatrists for ongoing evaluations and medication management to ensure they receive the appropriate level of care to address their needs and co-occurring conditions.
