Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs in Nevada

 Dual-diagnosis treatment programs in Nevada treat the condition of having both mental health issues and substance use disorders at the same time. Many people who suffer from mental and physical illnesses can develop a dependency on drugs or alcohol. This is called “co-occurring disorders”. Some people who are struggling with pain, either physical or mental, can turn to self-medicating with prescription pills or illegal substances and alcohol to help control their symptoms. This is the reason that it is beneficial to the client to enter into a dual diagnosis rehab center for their addiction and mental health concerns.

Dual diagnosis is sometimes referred to as “co-occurring disorders” or “comorbidity”. The term “comorbidity” describes two or more disorders occurring in the same person. They can occur at the same time or one after the other. Comorbidity also implies interactions between the illnesses that can worsen the course of both. Dual-diagnosis treatment programs are tailor-made to address the co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders specifically. Many of the dual diagnosis treatment centers treat the individual by using an integrated approach, working with both psychological and alcohol or drug dependency. Dual-diagnosis treatment programs are a relatively new approach to treating addiction and have gained acceptance and significant results in treating co-occurring substance disorders. If you are having difficulties stopping the use of drugs or alcohol and have an underlying mental health issue going to an addiction treatment wellness program can help. This type of program will help not only with the treatment of addiction but also help find the underlying condition that started the addiction in the first place.

Do I need Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

A person with both a mental disorder and substance abuse problem most often shows symptoms of an apparent mood disorder that can range from dysthymia to a major depressive episode. Symptoms of anxiety are also a symptom, often mixed with signs of depression. Treatment centers with addiction treatment wellness programs understand the struggles people with co-occurring mental issues have and are trained to handle the many different situations that can arise. Therapists, doctors, nurses, detox specialists, social workers, and counselors have been trained to help monitor patients, by monitoring physical condition and providing simple interventions to help people stay comfortable and calm. Co-occurring disorders separate dual-diagnosis clients from those who are only suffering from addiction alone. Mental illness and addiction may share many of the same symptoms and both need to be treated at the same time, to treat the whole problem. If these people do not receive treatment from a dual-diagnosis rehabilitation facility, the problems are more than likely to worsen over time. 

Treatment at a dual diagnosis treatment center may include:
Evidence-based treatment programs
Integrated Intervention
Medication (if necessary)
Individual or group counseling
Self-help measures
Lifestyle changes
Peer support
Private rooms

If you are ready to stop this cycle of addiction, give us a call and we can discuss treatment options in Nevada today.

What type of Dual Diagnosis Program do I Need?

Dual-diagnosis drug rehab centers are mainly divided into three categories:

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): To deliver a fully rounded outpatient program for those suffering from co-occurring mental disorders and substance abuse issues, treatment should consist of daily monitoring and counseling for at least the first 30 days. Finding a program that can adjust medications and completely change them if needed, in an outpatient setting can be difficult unless you have private health insurance. Most state-funded outpatient treatment programs are not set up to handle dual-diagnosis clients and the complexities that these two conditions can pose to a treatment team. IOP consists of daily, to weekly meetings and 1-1 counseling. The client lives at home while undergoing treatment. Programs are specifically designed to allow the individual to stay at home while engaging in active treatment for their condition. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are for people who do not require intensive interventions or convincing to enter into treatment.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Centers: Inpatient treatment for those with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders, offers treatment in durations from 28 days of intensive inpatient treatment, up to 6 months in some transitional drug rehab programs. The length of the program does not always translate to a better success rate, however. Individual success is solely dependent on the individual, their needs, and the level of care needed to ensure full delivery of the program before completion of the time on the said program. Clients stay at the center and are monitored 24 hours a day by licensed therapists, doctors, nurses, detox specialists, licensed clinical social workers, and counselors. Clients may or may not be permitted visitors depending on the program rules. Programs usually consist of 28-day treatment followed up by outpatient counseling and doctor visits to evaluate medications and adjust accordingly if necessary.

Partial hospitalization treatment centers OR PHP Programs: PHP Programs utilize office space in a separate building to counsel and treat dual-diagnosis clients. Therapy usually consists of 6 hours of treatment, 5 days a week, and Saturday activities, leaving Sunday for reflection and homework. This type of program utilizes upscale apartments for housing and has security on site 24 hours a day for the client’s safety.

Types of therapies offered may include:

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing when used for substance use disorders incorporates a therapeutic approach to treatment that addresses your resistance to change while working to increase your motivation to accept change in your behavior. It is designed to help reinforce a person’s motivation towards a specific goal by exploring a person’s reasons for change while in an environment of acceptance, compassion, and collaboration.

Biofeedback & Neurofeedback Therapy

Biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, uses an EEG machine to gather information about the brain by monitoring brain wave activity. Using technology, the device sends information through electronic sensors and software that can read the incoming brainwave data. This allows for the professionals to map the brainwave activity. It helps the expert develop and understand which neuro pathways have become blocked or deregulated in the individual like a person who has been recovering from drug addiction.

Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services

 MAT Services or Medicated Assisted Treatment are programs that provide medications to ease withdrawal symptoms while undergoing counseling to help people who have to rely on their medications to get by from day to day. People who have become dependent on their opioid medications, heroin, or alcohol can benefit from MAT services in their area. These programs have proven to be effective in helping lower the overdose rate in the country as well as saving lives. Studies have shown MAT services are safe, reduce overdoses, increase treatment retention, and improve social functioning. The main goal of MAT programs is to help people make a full recovery, and be productive and independent while undergoing treatment for substance misuse. Some of the medications used in Medicated Assisted Treatment include Buprenorphine, Methadone, Suboxone, or other maintenance medications. 

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on finding out exactly what needs to be changed and what doesn’t and then works by targeting those areas. People who come for therapy need to change something in their lives, whether it is how they feel, how they act, or the way other people treat them. In Cognitive Behavior Therapy, the therapist doesn’t settle for just nodding wisely while you carry the whole burden of finding the answers you came to therapy for. The therapist takes an active part in helping you to solve your problems. It is important that at the beginning of the treatment, a diagnostic workup is made to make sure that your needs and problems have been pinpointed as well as possible.  This step is most crucial and it is often skipped or omitted altogether in traditional kinds of therapy. Without this step, it would be impossible to make an explicit, understandable, and flexible treatment plan that would accurately reflect your own needs. CBT in this respect, resembles education, coaching, or tutoring. Under expert guidance, you will share in setting the treatment goals and deciding which techniques work best for you.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy also known as DBT maintains that some people, due to their environment, during their early years, and also due to biological factors, are more apt to react abnormally to emotional stimulation. This type of person is more prone to have their arousal level stimulated more quickly and have that sense peak at higher levels. It also takes more time for this type of person to return to a normal baseline. This is why some people have crisis-strewn lives and EXTREME EMOTIONAL LIABILITY (emotions that shift rapidly). It has also been noted that this person does not possess methods for coping with these sudden intense surges of emotion. DBT is a method for teaching skills that will help with this task. 

MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy)

Moral Reconation Therapy or MRT is a systematic step-by-step treatment strategy designed to enhance self-image, promote the growth of a positive, productive identity, and facilitate the development of higher stages of moral reasoning. MRT has been extensively researched and proven effective in populations with a high rate of antisocial behaviors. MRT seeks to re-educate clients socially, morally, and behaviorally to instill appropriate goals, motivation, and values. Studies have shown that this program significantly increases the participant’s odds of success. MRT is an open-ended program allowing clients to enter the program at any point in their supervision.

PTSD Treatment Centers and Residential Trauma Centers

There are many new therapies for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and addiction together. These programs have been proven to treat the symptoms and the cause of PTSD, all of which will help in the treatment and handling of PTSD with addiction in those seeking help. Depending on the facility and the training of the therapists, most facilities are experienced in treating some of the symptoms of PTSD, if not all of them. Therapy models and practices that can be included in a program for PTSD and trauma can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), meditation and mindfulness training exercises, group processing, individualized therapy, Biofeedback, and neurofeedback. All of these therapy models have proven to help with the treatment of PTSD and trauma in both women and men.
