Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

Dual Diagnosis is a term commonly used to describe treatment for individuals who struggle with two mental health disorders. More often than not, when professionals use the term dual diagnosis, they refer to a treatment designed to simultaneously address a mental health concern and a substance use disorder. 

Unfortunately, it has become apparent that living with a dual diagnosis is quite common, and we see it more often than not in treatment centers. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that one-third of all individuals living with a mental health disorder are also struggling with a substance use disorder. We typically see that drugs and alcohol exacerbate or worsen a person’s mental health condition.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) estimates that 7.7 million adults in the United States are living with dual diagnosis disorders. For some, the presence of a mental health disorder and substance use disorder occur at the same time. However, this is not always the case. It is also important to note that the two diagnoses do not have to be caused by each other. Several factors can contribute to the development of mental health concerns, including socioeconomic status, your environment, and genetics.

NIDA estimates that less than half of the 7.7 million individuals living with a dual diagnosis receive any mental health treatment. Of those who do receive treatment, only 9.1% receive treatment for both their mental health disorder and their addiction.

Research has been able to pinpoint barriers that interfere with a person’s ability to get treatment for their mental health concerns. The main barrier for treatment relates to access of care, specifically the ability to afford treatment. Other barriers include fear of being judged for their concerns, worry about being sent to a mental health hospital, feeling as though they are coping fine on their own, and the person is not ready to get sober.

Dual Diagnosis For Long-Term Drug Treatment

Before you begin looking for treatment options, it is important to know why you should be looking for dual diagnosis treatment centers, in Indiana. For some, the struggle of a mental health concern and addiction are intertwined. As an example, some individuals use drugs or alcohol to cope with the symptoms associated with their mental health concerns. If this individual goes to a rehab without mental health treatment, they will learn about a healthy recovery, but will likely not gain the skills needed to cope with the mental health symptoms they were initially struggling with. This could contribute to relapse when the person begins to struggle with their mental health. 

If someone receives treatment for their mental health concern and continues to use drugs and alcohol, their mental health progress will be stunted. Drugs and alcohol have a direct impact on our brains. Long-term misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol can change the way our brain functions, directly impacting our thoughts and feelings. While a person’s brain continues to work under the influence of drugs and alcohol, their brain will be continued being altered by drugs and alcohol. 

The best course of action for an individual who is struggling with a dual diagnosis is for them to receive treatment for both their addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis treatment centers in Indiana have their counselors work with you to see if there are any connections between your mental health struggles and your substance use. Being aware of any connection they have will help you develop an effective relapse prevention strategy. 

If someone is looking to have the best chances at recovery, they will look for dual diagnosis treatment in Indiana. This may include specialized treatment options, additional group therapy, focused individualized therapy, and the use of psychotropic medications. Your counselors should explain to you the reasons for your treatment interventions, and the potential gains they could give you.

Knowing the Signs

What to Expect from a Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center in Indiana

Dual Diagnosis treatment in Indiana will likely occur in an outpatient rehab treatment center. The initial focus when you come to the treatment center will be for you to detox from all substances. Common withdrawal symptoms from drugs and alcohol include nausea, vomiting, sleep changes, and irritability. All of these symptoms would make it difficult for you to be engaged in your treatment. Because of this, most individuals are recommended to go through a detox program. Detox programs allow your body to process the remaining substance in your body and go through the withdrawal process. While you are in the detox program, you may be asked to attend educational groups or meetings to help you gain a better understanding of addiction.

After you have completed a detox program, you would begin attending the treatment program, depending on your needs. Individuals who have a dual diagnosis will likely have a personalized treatment plan that addresses their mental health concerns. Treatment programs can offer specialized group sessions related to mental health, such as gender-specific struggles, PTSD, and trauma. There may be an increase in the number of individual sessions that you are given with a counselor. One-on-one time with a therapist allows you to focus on things that you may not have the opportunity to discuss in a group setting. 

Before you leave treatment, you will work with a counselor to develop a relapse prevention plan. This plan will be tailored to your specific triggers and challenges that may arise when you return home. You should have a plan for coping with these challenges and triggers and a list of healthy, supportive individuals who you are able to reach out to for help.

I don’t even know where to begin. Addiction doesn’t care what family or person it chooses to effect and it’s definitely a long and tough journey not only for the addict but also for the loved ones included. My first call was to Marty and he immediately arranged a force to go and talk to my son. Guided me in the process and made it easy during a rough time in our lives. Tyson took time away to welcome my son to the Evolve house at midnight bc it was the only flight we could get him back due to Covid and he welcomed my son and never once looked upset that it was late and helped him get set up and took time from his personal life to do that for us. Whitney whose a amazing counselor and my son loved her. There is a millions things and examples of what each of them did to help take care of my son through the process but when you walk into Evolve you feel calm, like family and mostly loved. When you meet Joe you just immediately feel his genuineness and his heart for everyone. My son loved him and his choice of music 😂 Mike Reynolds who also was amazing to my son and I can’t thank him enough. But mostly my biggest thanks and appreciation goes to Brian Kendrick. For multiple reasons, when my son left Evolve and was in sober living he still took my son under his wing and treated him like his own. When we went through relapse he contacted each of us on the daily.

Evolve Can Help You On Your Path to Recovery From Heroin

Long-term heroin use can lead to severe physical and psychological consequences. The safest and most effective way to overcome a heroin addiction is to seek help from a heroin treatment center in Indiana. At Evolve, skilled medical and mental health treatment professionals will work with you to design a unique and individualized treatment plan that helps you overcome heroin addiction.

We understand that seeking help away from home to quit heroin is not easy, but it is a vital step on your journey to recovery and lasting sobriety. Attempting to quit heroin without the help of professional detox is often more complex and less successful. For most, the effects of heroin addiction are so strong that attempting to withdraw “cold turkey” often leads to relapse, and it becomes impossible to adequately manage the severity of withdrawal symptoms without assistance.

At our Indiana heroin rehab, we offer a full range of comprehensive, evidence-based treatment options to help you meet your treatment goals. Our providers will help you through all stages of your recovery journey, beginning with detox, followed by therapy and aftercare planning. We are here to help you achieve and maintain lasting sobriety. Contact our admissions team today at our Indiana heroin treatment center to learn more about how our programs can help you get and stay sober.
