Dual Diagnosis

man begins dual diagnosis treatment at the arbor

It is common for people suffering from addiction to also have other mental health concerns. Being diagnosed with substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health issue is known as a dual diagnosis. In many cases, individuals have been overusing combinations of sedatives and stimulants in order to medicate the symptoms of co-occurring disorders. People need to be on the right combination of medications, no exceptions. Many of our clients struggle with mental health concerns like bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and unhealed trauma.

We also work with clients who struggle with personality disorders and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Our luxury rehab center provides dual diagnosis treatment that can work with both illnesses concurrently. Contact The Arbor or apply for admission to see if our Texas dual diagnosis rehab is right for you or a loved one by calling 844.413.2690.

Mental Health Concerns & Substance Use

Many of our clients have elaborate histories of being treated for various types of mental and physical illnesses. Numerous types and brands of medications have been used with few long-term physical and psychological benefits. What has made thought and/or mood stabilization so elusive is that many of our clients have avoided being honest with physicians about the extent of their drug use due to fear of withdrawal symptoms. The dishonesty revolves around feeling dependent on a drug that makes them feel like it’s alleviating their symptoms when it’s wreaking havoc on their mind, body, and soul.

Respectful & Compassionate Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Feeling desperate to use a drug despite its harmful consequences is the essence of substance use disorder. And people struggling with mental health concerns are just so vulnerable. At The Arbor, when our staff meets a person who is misusing substances, we view them as a person in pain who desperately needs help. Our respectful and compassionate approach sets us apart from other Texas drug rehabs. We offer the following levels of dual diagnosis care at The Arbor:
  • Residential addiction treatment
  • Long-term care & sober living
  • Intensive outpatient treatment
We know that psychiatric symptoms are often caused or exacerbated by substance use. For example, the withdrawal from opioids often resembles a psychotic break and causes people to be misdiagnosed and prescribed even more powerful narcotics. A major effort during participation in The Arbor Behavioral Healthcare system is to differentiate between the effects of substance abuse vs. a legitimate dual diagnosis disorder for clinical, not emotional, purposes. Providing respectful, thorough, honest, and compassionate care helps people break through emotional walls that have been preventing growth.

Mood Stabilization & Insomnia During Rehab

Our staff has extensive experience working with people whose brains are in the process of rebalancing themselves. You simply will not find a more patient, professional, experienced group of therapists. Part of our job is helping people stabilize their moods, which can be a challenge when they are used to relying on drugs rather than coping skills for relief. The discontinuation of all substances that carry a high addiction potential is the first step. Insomnia is a common concern among people overcoming substance use disorder, but it isn’t permanent. While it might seem impossible to live life without consuming harmful chemicals, recovery is possible in the right environment, with the right people.

New Hope, New Life

For many clients, it is easy to understand and agree to stop use of substances such as fentanyl, oxycodone, heroin, meth, cocaine, alcohol, and Xanax. However, putting plans into action is more difficult than people realize. Being in a comfortable environment surrounded by a community of people who have lived through what you are living through has immense healing power.
