When someone faces both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, treatment can feel overwhelming. This combination, known as dual diagnosis, requires specialized care to address both issues simultaneously. At Decision Point Center, we use evidence-based therapies tailored to help individuals manage these complex challenges.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a powerful method for individuals dealing with emotional regulation and high-stress situations. DBT teaches skills like mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. It’s a great fit for those working to understand and manage overwhelming emotions while staying committed to their recovery goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps individuals identify negative thinking patterns and replace them with healthier, constructive ones. By addressing the thoughts that drive behaviors, CBT allows people to break the cycle of self-destructive actions, making it a highly effective tool for treating mental health and addiction simultaneously.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
For many, trauma plays a central role in addiction and mental health disorders. EMDR is a targeted therapy method that helps people process traumatic experiences, reducing the emotional impact they carry. It can be especially beneficial for those with PTSD or other trauma-related conditions.
Bowenian Family Therapy
Dual diagnosis doesn’t just affect the individual—it often impacts the whole family. Bowenian Family Therapy offers a way to improve relationships and create healthier family dynamics. Through guided sessions, families can learn how to support their loved one while also fostering their own growth and understanding.
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy focuses on addressing harmful beliefs and attitudes. By reframing how you see challenges, REBT helps individuals cope with emotions in a more balanced way. This approach empowers people to tackle emotional struggles without turning to substance use for relief.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational technique that helps individuals connect with their own reasons for making positive changes. It’s centered on listening to clients, reflecting their thoughts, and encouraging them to identify their goals for recovery. This collaborative approach is highly effective for building confidence and commitment to change.
