What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses the simultaneous presence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. Common conditions we treat at our Monterey facility include depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder, often intertwined with substance dependency. Left untreated, these conditions reinforce one another, creating a complex cycle that only a comprehensive dual diagnosis approach can effectively address. Our Monterey dual diagnosis treatment prioritizes a balanced, integrated approach to treat both conditions concurrently, offering the highest chance of lasting recovery and mental well-being.

Effectiveness of Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment has been shown to be effective in helping people manage both mental health and substance use issues. According to research, people receiving dual diagnosis treatment showed big improvements after a year. For example:

The number of people staying sober went from 2% at the start to 39% after treatment.
They also reported fewer psychiatric symptoms, improving from 60% at the start to 68% after treatment.
Employment rates improved, with people working more often after treatment, rising from 20% to 29%.

The research also found that patients in programs strongly focused on dual diagnosis treatment had even better results. These patients reported fewer mental health symptoms (71%) compared to those in programs with less focus on dual diagnosis treatment (65%). Additionally, people in strong dual diagnosis programs had higher employment rates (34% versus 25%).

The study suggests that patients with less severe mental health issues showed greater improvement and responded better to dual diagnosis treatment. Staying involved in aftercare programs and achieving small goals along the way also led to more positive outcomes after one year.

Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Approaches

Our dual diagnosis treatment in Monterey, CA goes beyond surface-level care, providing a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client. We believe effective treatment for co-occurring disorders requires a scientific and compassionate approach, addressing root causes and behaviors with equal attention.

Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma often plays a critical role in co-occurring disorders. Our Monterey team applies trauma-informed care to help clients process past experiences safely and effectively. This approach prioritizes understanding the role of trauma in addiction and mental health conditions, fostering a respectful, empathetic environment that builds trust and encourages healing.

Holistic Addiction Treatment

At our Monterey facility, we integrate holistic addiction treatment methods to support each person’s physical, mental, and emotional health. Techniques like meditation, yoga, and nutritional counseling encourage personal growth and inner peace, promoting long-term resilience. Clients engage in activities that improve physical health, reduce stress, and promote a balanced lifestyle. This multifaceted approach aims to give each client tools to navigate life beyond treatment successfully.

Evidence-Based Therapies

With a commitment to evidence-based methods, we offer cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other proven modalities to address patterns of thought and behavior. These therapies enable clients to understand the root of their challenges and develop coping skills that align with long-term recovery goals.

Individual and Group Therapy

Individual therapy provides one-on-one support, allowing clients to explore their unique experiences and set personal goals. In group therapy, individuals gain insight from peers who share similar struggles. Our Monterey facility offers both types of therapy to ensure a balanced treatment plan, allowing each client to build interpersonal skills, confidence, and a sense of community.
