Addiction & Mental Health
Clients who have co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns are said to have a dual diagnosis. This means that they have more than one diagnosis that affects their mental state. If the answer to the question of “Do I need dual diagnosis treatment?” is yes, don’t worry; help is available to you. Addiction and mental health concerns take time to untangle, but we want you to know that healing is possible and within your reach.
Dual Diagnosis Addiction Treatment
Treatment for dual diagnosis is different than treatment only for substance use. It’s important that a dual diagnosis treatment program addresses both the substance use issue and the mental health issue for the client. Untreated mental health issues lead to stress, which can increase the likelihood that a person will relapse. This is why it’s important that dual diagnosis patients receive treatment for both substance use and their mental health issue. While dual diagnosis treatment plans can present a challenge, recovery is just as possible for dual diagnosis clients as it is for anyone else.

Trauma Therapy
At Crestview Recovery, we understand that unhealed trauma and substance use often go hand in hand. We’re here to help you work through trauma in a safe, accepting space. If you have been dually diagnosed, finding the right drug rehab and mental health center can make such a difference in your life. When you’re struggling with substance use, you may also need treatment for the following types of mental health concerns:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- Personality disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
How Can a Trauma Treatment Center Help Treat PTSD?
Trauma treatment can help a PTSD sufferer by alleviating symptoms with a personalized care plan. A PTSD trauma treatment care plan may include the following:
- Learning to open a trusting dialogue to recognize and communicate symptoms with professionals who are trained to manage PTSD symptoms
- Reducing rumination and flashback episodes by replacing them with more healthful coping mechanisms
- Working with professionals to reclaim a personal sense of safety
- Helping to identify and honor emotions while processing them in more healthful ways. This can be especially important if you are experiencing a great deal of anger, or sadness.
When you or a loved one is struggling with mental health and/or substance use, finding help is the first step in the recovery process. Completing a trauma therapy program greatly improves your chances of achieving life-long sobriety and decreases your risk of experiencing a relapse.
