Sophros Recovery Tampa recognizes that addiction and mental health challenges often go hand in hand. Our dual diagnosis treatment program is designed to address both substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges simultaneously, providing a comprehensive path to recovery.
We understand that every individual’s journey to recovery is unique. That’s why dual diagnosis is just one of the many specialized addiction treatment programs we offer to meet diverse needs. From holistic therapies to evidence-based practices, our goal is to provide a supportive and personalized approach for lasting healing.
Understanding dual diagnosis
Dual diagnosis refers to the coexistence of both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition in an individual. These two challenges often interact in complex ways, with one influencing and potentially worsening the other. For example, substance use may serve as a coping mechanism for untreated mental health issues, while substance abuse can also trigger or aggravate mental health symptoms.
Treating these conditions concurrently is crucial, as focusing on just one aspect often leads to incomplete or short-lived recovery. Our comprehensive approach ensures that both the mental health condition and the substance use disorder are addressed together, providing the support needed for a more effective, holistic, and lasting recovery.
Who benefits from dual diagnosis treatment?
Individuals experiencing both addiction and mental health symptoms, such as persistent sadness, anxiety, or trauma-related issues, can greatly benefit from our dual diagnosis program. This comprehensive approach addresses both conditions simultaneously, recognizing how closely they can be intertwined. By tackling the root causes of addiction and mental health challenges together, we aim to provide the tools, strategies, and long-term support necessary for holistic healing.
Our program is designed to empower individuals to regain control of their lives and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery and emotional well-being.
Our comprehensive approach
Our dual diagnosis treatment program encompasses four key components:
Evidence-based therapy
We offer a variety of therapy options, including individual, group, and family counseling. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help individuals address the underlying causes of addiction and mental health issues.
Medication-assisted treatment
MAT, when appropriate, is used to help individuals manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Our experienced medical staff works closely with each individual to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone.
Case management
We know that recovery extends beyond just the time spent in our program. That’s why we provide case management services to assist individuals in finding resources and support after they leave our center. This includes helping to find housing, employment, and other necessary services.
Alumni support
We believe that a strong community is essential for lasting recovery. Our alumni program offers ongoing support through meetings, events, and access to resources to help individuals maintain their sobriety.
In addition to these four prongs of treatment, we also offer various holistic therapies, such as yoga and music therapy. These activities can help individuals cope with stress, improve mental well-being, and find joy in sobriety.
Common co-occurring disorders we address
Our program is equipped to treat a variety of co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Bipolar disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Personality disorders
By addressing these conditions in tandem with addiction, we aim to provide a more effective and personalized treatment experience.
