Getting treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) is life-changing. It can restore your sense of wellbeing and help you gain control over your future. But some worry.
Will it mean that your past trauma and severe anxiety will come back? You’re not alone if you’re using substances to help control the intensity of what you feel, from depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But you can be free from both.
At The Ranch at Dove Tree, we strive to provide you with one-on-one support for both SUDs and mental health disorders at the same time. That gives you relief from the incredible symptoms you already feel.
Addiction Treatment Can Reduce Mental Health Symptoms
The Ranch at Dove Tree offers a wide range of programs designed to give people the ability to live healthy lives. That includes providing dual diagnosis treatment. This treatment program focuses on both mental health disorders, like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, alongside addiction. By working on both together, you’ll have a meaningful reduction in your symptoms.
Our research, obtained from our Trac9 Informatics, has revealed the following reduction in symptoms for our patients on this treatment plan.
- 58% reduction in symptoms of depression
- 43% reduction in symptoms of anxiety
- 53% reduction in trauma and PTSD symptoms
The symptoms you feel when you don’t turn to substances can be debilitating. And, they hold you back from truly living the life you desire. We can’t make the past go away, but we can provide you with resources to move forward and leave the past behind you. These outcomes demonstrate our dedication to supporting every person’s right to emotional healing, building resilience, and establishing a strong foundation.
What Dual Diagnosis Means for You
Data shared in the SAMHSA’s 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that about 21.2 million adults suffered from co-occurring mental illness and substance use. That’s an incredible number of people facing intense emotional pain and debilitating symptoms. Dual diagnosis treatment in Texas can help you.
Our 12-Step recovery model utilizes a science-based, holistic addiction treatment format to work on both mental health and SUD at the same time. We know that treating those with dual diagnosis can only be done properly when there is a comprehensive and integrated approach. That means addressing both conditions at the same time.
Our integrated treatment includes support from mental health professionals, addiction specialists, medication, and support groups. Therapy and lifestyle changes are components of your treatment plan. Every person’s complex background plays a role in the exact types of treatment best suited for their needs. What you can expect is for our team to consistently work to create an individualized plan to address your needs.
What Happens in Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Your specific needs define the specific process of dual diagnosis treatment. This isn’t about pressuring you to relive the pain or medicating you so you don’t feel anything. Instead, you can expect the following:
- A full assessment. We evaluate your psychiatric history and substance use to have a clear understanding of what is happening in your body. We need to determine how these disorders function in your body and their severity.
- Detox. For many people, our medically monitored detox process comes next. It is an opportunity to allow your body to cleanse away all of the substances present. We are here to monitor your symptoms and offer support.
- Integrated therapy. Most of our clients benefit from a range of therapy types, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. We develop an individualized plan to address your specific needs.
- Medication management. Many mental health disorders need some level of medication treatment. We offer the time and patience to develop a plan that is best suited to your needs, where you feel your best.
- Ongoing treatment. Care continues after you leave inpatient treatment at our location. We’re always available to continue to support you throughout the challenges ahead.
This basic outline is just that – it’s an opportunity to see what to expect from a broad range of therapy options. In every situation, you will know what is happening, why, and what benefits you’ll see from it. We always put you first throughout this legal process.
