Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, require specialized treatment that addresses both addiction and mental health simultaneously. At Swift River, we provide comprehensive, integrated care that tackles these complex conditions through evidence-based approaches and individualized treatment planning.
The Connection Between Mental Health and Addiction
Mental health conditions and substance use disorders often intertwine, with each condition potentially influencing or exacerbating the other. Common co-occurring disorders include anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and personality disorders. Understanding these connections helps shape effective treatment approaches.
Our Integrated Treatment Approach
Swift River’s co-occurring disorders program provides coordinated treatment for both mental health and addiction through a comprehensive system of care that addresses all aspects of recovery.
Comprehensive Assessment
Every client receives a thorough evaluation to determine their specific needs and circumstances. This detailed assessment examines mental health diagnosis, substance use patterns, medical conditions, and treatment history. We also consider family background and support systems to create a complete picture of each client’s situation.
Coordinated Care Team
Our multidisciplinary team brings together expertise from various disciplines to provide comprehensive care. Psychiatrists work alongside licensed therapists, addiction specialists, medical doctors, and nurses to ensure all aspects of treatment are properly coordinated. Case managers and recovery coaches provide additional support throughout the recovery journey.
Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
We utilize proven therapeutic approaches that address both mental health and addiction concerns. Our program integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-informed care with traditional addiction treatment methods. This combination provides clients with effective tools for managing both conditions.
