Dual Diagnosis Treatment
WHAT IS DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT?
Treatment for Mental Illness and Addiction
Dual-diagnosis substance abuse treatment addresses both disorders concurrently, beginning with drug or alcohol use disorder and then the common mental health disorders that accompany addiction. This program is essential as the two often exist together.
Our residential treatment center provides multiple disorder treatment programs so you receive the support you need. At Enlight’s dual-diagnosis treatment center in Ventura, CA, we are proud to provide many evidence-based treatment approaches to help people in need through skillful integration of addiction treatment with treatment for personality disorders and mental disorders. The result is an arsenal of skills needed to make healthy choices in the future.
DUAL DIAGNOSIS REHAB
Does My Mental Illness Qualify Me for Dual Diagnosis Rehab?
If you believe your mental illness makes it challenging to successfully overcome substance abuse, then dual diagnosis treatment programs could be an ideal solution for overcoming mental health disorders while simultaneously receiving the treatment services you need to address your addiction.
Those who suffer from the following disorders are prime candidates for this type of treatment:
THE LINK BETWEEN MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION
several ways the situation can present itself
Often, the disorders co-exist without one having led to the other. And at times, one disorder is more serious than the other. Challenges during evaluation arise when trying to identify which disorder appeared first, how the conditions relate to each other, and which is more severe.
Many people struggling with mental health disorders begin using alcohol or drugs to suppress their symptoms. For instance, an individual with an anxiety disorder may drink to feel more comfortable in social settings. Major depressive disorder patients might take drugs to boost their energy levels and overcome feelings of hopelessness and sadness.
EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION & MENTAL ILLNESS
Why Dual-Diagnosis Is Effective
Dual diagnosis remains effective for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, the goal is to not simply treat the addiction and get the patient through detox but to address why the patient began drug abuse (or other unhealthy activities) in the first place. By doing so, the patient can leave treatment more confident, more complete, and better equipped to cope with future challenges.
Additional benefits of dual-diagnosis care include:
-
Regular detox programs only focus on the physical problem, but dual-diagnosis finds the link between the physical dependency and the mental illness that is worsening it.
-
Dual diagnosis typically spans a longer period than regular addiction treatment, but this also means the patient can progress at a pace more comfortable to them and will have a lower likelihood of relapse as a result.
-
There is much debate over whether addiction and mental illness can ever fully be cured, but with dual-diagnosis, the patient can get to the root causes of both and learn to recognize their triggers.
-
Dual-diagnosis patients have the unique opportunity to better understand themselves and how their mind operates. This leads to greater self-acceptance and the ability to take back control of their life.
Therapies that address not only addiction but the specific mental illness you are experiencing. These therapies may include dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, holistic modalities, and more.
Depression Treatment
Major depression can affect any individual from any walk of life, regardless of age, ethnicity, or background. For some individuals, this mental disorder can take over their lives, damage relationships, and in some cases, cause major physical and mental health concerns.
Enlight provides depression treatment that can provide an enormous benefit for those struggling with mental health disorders.

PTSD Treatment
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
When you think you are experiencing PTSD symptoms, it is important to go to a trauma treatment center where a healthcare professional can help diagnose your symptoms through mental health screenings as well as physical exams. Fortunately, PTSD is treatable, and by getting help from professional healthcare workers at a PTSD treatment facility in the form of an intensive outpatient program, residential program, or other forms of therapeutic interventions, the detrimental symptoms can be successfully avoided.
After treatment, you can go on to live a happy, normal life without having to worry and stress about the traumatic event that you can eventually leave behind and cope with healthily.
