Co-Occurring Disorders Definition
Why is it Important to Treat Co-Occurring Disorders?
Dual Diagnosis vs. Co-Occurring Disorders
Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
What is Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders?
Benefits of Integrated Treatment
- It lowers the possibility of drug interactions
- It lowers treatment costs because each therapy is paid for separately rather than having to pay for several therapies at once
- It enables you to get the most from your therapies, minimizing side effects and maximizing the efficacy of your medication
Integrated Treatment Program
Detoxification
Residential Treatment
A crucial part of the integrated treatment process for co-occurring disorders and substance misuse is residential therapy. It can be used autonomously or in combination with other treatments, such as group therapy or counseling.
There are many advantages to residential treatment for co-occurring disorders, including:
- A greater sense of security and stability
- Improved access to services and initiatives
- A more structured setting where you can speak with skilled and knowledgeable staff in treating substance use disorders one-on-one.
Medications
Continuum of Care
The continuum of care is an integrated treatment strategy that involves drug rehabilitation, individual and group counseling, and family therapy. It treats several illnesses like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and alcohol or drug misuse.
Outpatient Care
Partial Hospitalization Programs
In place of conventional mental institutions, partial hospitalization programs provide a structured atmosphere that enables patients to go home and maintain relationships with their families.
These programs offer many of the same advantages and can be employed as an integrated treatment program component.
Transitional Living or Sober Housing
Continued Counseling or Therapy for the Co-Occurring Disorder
Behavioral Therapies
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
Therapeutic Communities (TCs)
Contingency Management (CM) or Motivational Incentives (MI)
Contingency management or motivating incentives are two types of behavior therapy that employ positive reinforcement to support the desired behavior. It is used frequently in clinical settings, including schools and hospitals. Contingency management has proven to be successful in preventing relapse in addicted adults and lowering teen drug usage.
Exposure Therapy
Integrated Group Therapy (IGT)
Signs and Symptoms of Co-Occurring Disorders
Mental Health Disorder Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of a mental health disorder leading to a diagnosis of a co-occuring disorder depend heavily on the type of mental illness that a client has. These symptoms can also overlap with the symptoms of substance use disorders.
These symptoms can include:4
- Persistent depressive feelings
- Altered sleep patterns
- Brain fog
- Feelings of worthlessness
- Suicidal thoughts or behavior
SUDs Symptoms
People may find it challenging to notice their substance use disorder symptoms if they have a co-occurring disorder due to so much symptom overlap and mirroring. Common symptoms of a SUD include abnormally high substance tolerance, inability to control substance use, and signs of withdrawal.
Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders at Ripple Ranch Recovery
At Ripple Ranch Recovery, we are committed to assisting our patients in the treatment of their co-occurring disorders. We provide a range of therapeutic choices, such as treatment interventions for co-occurring disorders or individual and group therapy for kids, teens, and adults.
Our clinicians are qualified to assist you in overcoming your problems and mending the harm the ailment might have caused to your life. However, we are aware that occasionally asking for assistance from others won’t suffice.
If this applies to you, we provide both in-house residential treatment and outpatient treatment through our partner program Continuum Outpatient Center, as part of our co-occurring disorders treatment program. Whatever your unique situation might be, we are here to provide support.
Does Insurance Pay for Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment?
Treatment for co-occurring disorders may not always be fully covered by insurance. You can request a fee waiver if your insurance doesn’t pay for it. If you cannot pay the entire cost of your treatment, you may be able to earn a reduction due to this type of coverage.
We at Ripple Ranch Recovery understand this and have developed a comprehensive sample treatment plan for co-occurring disorders to help you get back on your feet.
Our first step is determining which disorders you may have to ensure that we provide the proper treatment for your needs. We also offer medication management and other forms of therapy and counseling.
