What is Dual Diagnosis Therapy?

Dual diagnosis therapy is a specialized approach to treatment for individuals who are facing both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. At Ascend Recovery Center, we understand that these conditions are often interconnected, with one influencing the other in ways that make recovery more complex. Dual diagnosis therapy provides integrated care that addresses both issues simultaneously, helping clients uncover and manage the underlying factors driving their addiction and mental health symptoms. Our dual diagnosis therapy includes a blend of evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication management, and holistic practices to support whole-person healing. This comprehensive approach empowers individuals to make meaningful progress in both their mental health and recovery, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Our approach combines evidence-based therapies, compassionate care, and a focus on each individual’s unique journey, creating a therapeutic experience that fosters both personal growth and resilience.

  • Holistic Approach to Healing – We believe in treating the whole person, addressing physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Our programs incorporate a blend of therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy, and mindfulness practices, to nurture holistic healing.
  • Support for Dual Diagnosis – Many individuals face both mental health challenges and substance use disorders. Our integrated treatment approach ensures that clients receive support for both conditions, offering a pathway to lasting recovery.
  • Skill-Building for Life Beyond Recovery – In our therapy programs, clients learn valuable coping mechanisms, stress management techniques, and life skills that empower them to handle life’s challenges without reliance on substances.
  • Community and Connection – Recovery can feel isolating, but at Ascend, we cultivate a sense of community through group sessions and peer support. This connection fosters mutual understanding and encouragement, helping clients build a supportive network.
  • Long-Term Support and Relapse Prevention – We equip clients with strategies and resources to maintain their progress long after their initial treatment. By focusing on relapse prevention and self-care skills, we prepare individuals for sustained success in recovery.

The therapy programs at Ascend Recovery Center are more than just treatments; they are pathways to renewed hope, resilience, and independence. We are dedicated to providing the tools and guidance necessary to support each client’s journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Co-Occurring Conditions We Treat

We specialize in treating co-occurring conditions, also known as dual diagnoses. These are situations where individuals experience both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder simultaneously. Our integrated approach addresses both conditions together, recognizing that treating one without addressing the other can lead to relapse and hinder long-term recovery.

We provide expert care for a range of co-occurring conditions, including:

  • Anxiety Disorders: Anxiety often coexists with substance use, as individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with overwhelming stress, fear, or worry. We offer therapies that reduce anxiety symptoms while addressing substance dependence.
  • Depression: Depression and substance use are closely linked, with each condition intensifying the other. Our treatment combines counseling, therapeutic support, and holistic care to help clients manage depression and move toward a life of recovery.
  • Bipolar Disorder: Substance use is common among those with bipolar disorder as they seek to manage mood swings or emotional extremes. Our comprehensive program treats both the manic and depressive phases of bipolar disorder along with substance dependency.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Many individuals with PTSD turn to substances as a coping mechanism for trauma-related symptoms. Our trauma-informed approach helps clients safely process past experiences and develop healthy coping strategies.
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): ADHD can lead to impulsive behaviors, including substance misuse. Our program supports individuals with ADHD by combining medication management and behavioral therapies that target both conditions.
  • Personality Disorders: Substance use often overlaps with personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). We provide specialized therapies, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to help clients manage symptoms and reduce the reliance on substances.

Our team of licensed professionals is committed to helping clients manage their mental health and substance use challenges through evidence-based practices, compassionate support, and tailored treatment plans. By addressing co-occurring conditions together, we empower individuals to break the cycle of addiction, improve mental health, and build a foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Therapies We Offer at Ascend Recovery Center

We believe in using proven, evidence-based therapies to help individuals overcome addiction and mental health challenges. Our approach combines science-backed methods with compassionate care, ensuring that each client receives the most effective treatment for their unique needs. Here are some of the key evidence-based therapies we offer:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – CBT is one of the most widely used therapies for treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. It helps individuals identify negative thought patterns and behaviors, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build resilience to prevent relapse.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – DBT is particularly effective for clients who struggle with intense emotions or co-occurring mental health issues like borderline personality disorder. Through DBT, clients learn skills in emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance, helping them manage triggers and develop a balanced approach to life.
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) – This client-centered approach encourages individuals to find their own motivation for change. MI empowers clients to explore their goals and values, fostering a strong internal commitment to recovery and sustainable life changes.
  • Trauma-Informed Therapy – For individuals who have experienced trauma, our trauma-informed approach ensures that care is sensitive, respectful, and supportive. This therapy helps clients address past traumas, reduce triggers, and build a foundation for healing without re-traumatization.
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – For those struggling with opioid or alcohol dependence, MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT helps manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, supporting clients as they stabilize and engage more fully in recovery.
  • Family Therapy – Addiction and mental health challenges affect not only the individual but also their loved ones. Our family therapy sessions involve family members in the recovery process, helping to rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a supportive home environment.
  • Mindfulness and Relapse Prevention – Mindfulness-based therapies teach clients to stay present and manage stress effectively. These practices are essential in relapse prevention, helping individuals identify and cope with triggers before they escalate.
  • Group Therapy – Group sessions offer peer support and allow clients to share their experiences, gain insights, and build a sense of community. Group therapy is a powerful tool for healing, as clients find connection and encouragement from others who understand their journey.

Each of these therapies is delivered by our experienced team of licensed professionals who are dedicated to supporting every step of the recovery process. At Ascend Recovery Center, our evidence-based therapies empower clients to achieve lasting recovery and build fulfilling, healthy lives.
