At PRC Recovery, emphasis is laid on addiction being treated as a mental disorder. That being said, we cannot ignore that co-occurring disorders are a very real component for some and need to be treated accordingly.
Studies done by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) show that dual diagnosis affects as much as 45% of people diagnosed with substance abuse disorders in the US. We must offer an integrated treatment plan that addresses both disorders as interconnected mental issues.
What Is Dual Diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders refers to the substance abuse disorder not being the only illness presented. Other mood or psychiatric disorders are also diagnosed and may include the following:
Panic Disorders
Depression
Bipolar
Schizophrenia
Borderline Personality Disorder
Eating Disorders
How We Treat Dual Diagnosis
Psychological and medical assessment by our consulting doctor to screen for possible barriers.
Intake Assessments with a life history questionnaire were done at admission to identify possible previous diagnoses and challenges faced by the client to determine goals for the individualised treatment plan.
Daily inventory is done by the client to establish thinking and behavioural patterns or monitor progress in key areas.
A mood journal is also introduced for clients who struggle to identify their emotions or to help them see recurring patterns. It is also used to monitor the adverse effects of medication and prompt the registered counsellor for undiagnosed illnesses.
Refer positive screenings to our consulting clinical psychologist and consulting psychiatrist for confirmation of screening and possible therapeutic and medicinal intervention.
Our registered counsellor conducted a personality typing and strength survey to help the case management team and the client with effective one-on-one counselling.
Integrated treatment plan addressing both disorders as interconnected mental issues.
Group therapy sessions and one-on-one counselling sessions using evidence-based therapy to teach coping skills and strategies as well as education on the disorders.
