Co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health disorders may cause people to experience more severe symptoms. Diagnosing and treating mental health disorders provides patients with relief from symptoms and reduces the risk of relapse. South Shore Recovery Center is dedicated to ensuring patients receive compassionate and personalized care during treatment for dual diagnosis. Our holistic approach combines a supportive environment with evidence-based therapies to help patients heal. We provide people with the resources to build a solid foundation for sobriety and positive mental health.
Our mental health services address the diverse needs of individuals with SUD and co-occurring mental disorders. Patients can access many holistic and evidence-based therapies, including immersion therapy, 12-Step groups, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and alternative therapies. Mental health treatment is an essential part of recovery for individuals with SUD and dual diagnosis.
A mental health diagnosis provides essential context for individuals living with severe or persistent mental health issues. Clinicians use psychoeducation and other tools to ensure patients understand the realities of their serious mental illness (SMI) and how it may impact various aspects of their lives. We collaborate with patients to help them feel comfortable engaging with treatment for the signs and symptoms of their diagnosis. Providing detailed information about the disorder and related issues ensures patients recognize the need for continued treatment and recovery support.
SUD may co-occur with many other addictions or mental health disorders. Some of the most common mental health disorders we treat alongside SUD include:
We also treat additional psychotic conditions if the individual is not considered a danger to themselves or others. A mental health professional from our group of experts will assess each individual to ensure South Shore Recovery Center can provide the best care and support. Some individuals with complex or treatment-resistant mental health disorders may require higher levels of care before transitioning into treatment at South Shore Recovery Center. We offer referrals to ensure patients receive the care they need to heal and thrive.
The intake process involves comprehensive assessments. We use the information gathered to ensure patients access relevant and appropriate treatments. Every patient has different needs. The care team considers all factors impacting a patient’s health and recovery. Assessments allow clinicians to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine if half-day or day treatment programs will provide the best support.
People benefit from attending tailored treatment programs under the guidance of mental health and addiction recovery experts. Our dedicated professionals provide patients with the tools to successfully navigate recovery.
Expert treatment at South Shore Recovery Center includes:
Our integrative approach to care combines therapeutic modalities to address the symptoms of SUD or dual diagnosis. Personalized care, evidence-based treatments, and holistic therapies help patients build resilience and improve mental health.
Evidence-based therapies and integrative care provide the best outcomes during SUD and dual diagnosis treatment. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Together with early detection, integrated treatment can improve outcomes and quality of life for people with co-occurring disorders.” We offer evidence-based psychotherapy and other forms of mental health treatment to ensure patients receive the level of care they need to succeed in long-term recovery.
Group and individual therapy provide critical mental health support. Peers and the clinician team offer insights, motivation, and accountability for patients struggling with mental health issues. Engaging in both individual and group therapy sessions provides patients with a balanced approach to recovery by offering personalized support while encouraging positive social connections.
Personalized therapy plans make it easier to monitor patient progress and adjust treatment as needed to address any new issues. Our programs foster resilience and empower patients to prepare for long-term recovery by tailoring every service to their unique needs.
Patients learn to establish and maintain self-care routines. We ensure individuals in rehab understand the many health benefits of self-care. Knowledge of self-care practices makes it easier for patients to take control of their recovery and become more actively engaged in treatment. Taking steps to reduce stress and improve self-awareness creates a foundation for a healthier future. Our holistic treatment programs ensure comprehensive care by addressing each individual’s psychological, physical, and emotional health. We use a whole-person approach to address factors impacting patient care.
People in recovery must learn to balance all areas of their lives to improve mental health. Patients benefit from doing the following:
