An individual who has a mental health disorder and abuses substances can be considered to have a dual diagnosis.

However, it can sometimes be challenging for clinicians to diagnose individuals with a mental health disorder if they have also been abusing substances.

This is because substance abuse can cause many symptoms of mental health disorders.

It can also create mental health disorders after substance use has ceased.

It is important to seek treatment for a dual diagnosis because substance abuse can exacerbate symptoms of a mental health disorder and vice versa.

If you struggle with a dual diagnosis, you can receive the proper professional treatment you deserve at Resurgence Behavioral Health.

At our center, our staff will identify and treat your dual diagnosis.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services

A dual diagnosis of a mental health disorder or disorders comorbid with a substance use disorder can be treated through a variety of methods.

The first service you will receive with Resurgence Behavioral Health in inpatient services is medical drug detoxification from our professional and experienced staff.

Withdrawing from substances can be a challenging process but with our care and support,

we will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.

The goal of detoxification is to remove all the substance’s toxins from your system.

After the medical drug detoxification process has been completed, you will engage in one-on-one psychotherapy, group therapy, art therapy, psychotherapeutic medications as necessary, meditation, and exercise therapy.

You will be assessed and screened so that we can provide the most effective treatment specific to you.

Research shows one of the most effective therapies is Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT).

Treating a Dual Diagnosis with Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment

Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment is a model designed specifically to treat dual diagnosis. It is an empirical-based practice that combines the most effective treatments for substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders.
Major life changes and concepts are integrated into the treatment, such as sobriety, mental health disorder symptom management, and how to live independently. IDDT teaches coping skills through small changes that overlap and incrementally effect change over time. This is known as a stages-of-change approach.
This form of treatment is also individualized to meet the goals and needs of a dually diagnosed individual through various steps. IDDT has been proven to reduce the chances of relapse, arrests, and hospitalization. It has also been proven to increase the chances of a better quality of life, stable housing/employment retention, and independent living.

Habits to Improve Mental Health

An individual with a dual diagnosis of a mental health disorder and substance abuse disorder can improve his or her mental health by beginning to reduce or cease the use of substances. Depending on the individual, the substance, and how long he or she has been abusing the substance, it may require professional intervention. Some drugs are more dangerous to withdraw from than others may be.
For example, alcohol withdrawal can cause delirium tremens, seizures, and death. It is safest to detox with a professional in a rehab treatment center to stop abusing substances. If you are seeking ways to improve your mental health, there are several habits you can adopt in your daily life.

7 Habits to Improve Mental Health

1. Exercise- Exercise is important not only for your physical health but also for your mental health. It helps improve functioning in the brain and increases endorphins, which is the natural way to feel better and reduce symptoms of many mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression.
2. Meditate- Meditation can be applied in many ways. It can last as little as five minutes. All you need to do is find a quiet place to sit and take deep breaths. It can truly help the mind from racing as much, for those with a lot of anxiety. Just a few minutes a day can drastically improve your mental health.
3. Get Quality Sleep- Sleep and mental health are related and act on one another. If you are deprived of sleep, the state of your mental health will decline. To get quality sleep, try meditating before bed, reading, and try to go to bed at the same time every day so that your body adapts to the schedule. The more that you make this a habit, the easier it will be to fall and stay asleep.
4. Have an Active Social Life- Life is meant to be shared because we are social beings who need stimulation from others. Spend time with those you care about and who care about you, even if it is conducted through the phone or computer. Supportive family and friends can be a strong factor in improving your mental health. So, it is important to make time for socialization in your life. Make a list of people in your life that you can count on to bring you happiness and positivity.
5. Find Fun Hobbies & Interests- Everybody is different and has different perceptions of fun. Recreation is a way to alleviate our stress and find happiness in our chosen hobby or activity. Healthcare professionals recommend participating in productive hobbies so that brain activity is utilized healthily, and a sense of accomplishment is instilled within us. Find an activity or interest you are passionate about and place energy into doing what you enjoy.
6. Eat Nutritiously- Maintaining a nutritional diet full of essential vitamins and the proper number of macronutrients specific to your body (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) will improve your mental health. Water is also essential in completing a nutritious diet. Research has found that some foods can increase brain functioning and reduce stress. Try a healthy approach to your dietary habits the next time you are at the grocery store.
7. Appreciate Nature- Go outside and spend some time in the fresh air. You do not have to be so adventurous as to take a hike or go camping. But merely sitting outside on a nice breezy evening can feel good and improve your mental health by boosting serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood. The next time the weather conditions are optimal, consider going outside and simply enjoying the wonderful nature.
