Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders for Lasting Recovery
At Iris Healing, we recognize that the journey to recovery is deeply personal and often complex. For many individuals, substance use disorders are intertwined with underlying mental health conditions—a combination known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Addressing both aspects simultaneously is crucial for achieving lasting recovery.
Understanding Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder in an individual. These conditions often interact in ways that can exacerbate each other. For instance, someone struggling with depression may turn to alcohol as a form of self-medication, while substance abuse can intensify mental health symptoms or even trigger new ones. This cyclical relationship underscores the importance of integrated treatment approaches.

Iris Healing’s Integrated Approach
At Iris Healing, our dual diagnosis treatment program is designed to address the complexities of co-occurring disorders through a holistic and individualized approach. We understand that each person’s experience is unique, and our comprehensive care plans reflect this understanding.
Levels of Care
Detoxification: The first step in recovery, our medically supervised detox ensures safety and comfort as the body clears itself of substances.
Residential Treatment: In a structured and supportive environment, clients engage in intensive therapy sessions aimed at addressing both mental health and substance use disorders.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): This program offers a balance between intensive treatment and the flexibility to return home, ideal for those transitioning from residential care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Designed for individuals ready to reintegrate into daily life while still receiving structured support.
Outpatient Services: Provides ongoing therapy and support as clients continue their recovery journey.
Therapeutic Modalities
Our treatment incorporates evidence-based therapies tailored to address both mental health and substance use disorders:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): A non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, beneficial for depression and other mental health conditions.
Neurofeedback Therapy: Trains individuals to regulate brain function, aiding in the management of various mental health symptoms.
Holistic Therapies: Including yoga, meditation, art therapy, and sound bath meditation, these practices support overall well-being.
The Importance of Treating Co-Occurring Disorders
Addressing both mental health and substance use disorders concurrently is vital for several reasons:
Comprehensive Healing: Treating only one aspect can leave underlying issues unaddressed, increasing the risk of relapse.
Improved Outcomes: Integrated treatment has been shown to enhance recovery outcomes and quality of life.
Personalized Care: Understanding the interplay between disorders allows for more tailored and effective treatment plans.
