Common Dual Diagnosis Disorders

There is a significant overlap between eating disorders and substance abuse, often with substances used to control weight or appetite.
Schizoaffective Disorders & Addiction
This complex diagnosis combines symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders, often co-occurring with substance abuse.
Anxiety & Addiction
Anxiety disorders can drive individuals to use alcohol or drugs to relieve their symptoms, which can escalate into addiction.
Schizophrenia & Addiction
People with schizophrenia may engage in substance use to alleviate the symptoms or side effects of their medication.
Sleep Disorders & Addiction
Sleep disorders can lead to the use of substances to induce sleep, which can develop into an addiction.
Bipolar Disorder & Addiction
Substance use is particularly common in those with bipolar disorder as individuals may use drugs or alcohol to stabilize mood swings.

Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs in Los Angeles
Our comprehensive approach at Iris Healing Retreat includes various programs tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients in Los Angeles.
Detox
Detoxification is the critical initial phase of dual diagnosis treatment, aimed at safely removing drugs or alcohol from the body under the close supervision of medical professionals. This process is vital as it addresses the physical aspects of addiction, setting a foundation for effective psychological treatment. During detox, clients are monitored for withdrawal symptoms and are provided with medical interventions to ensure safety and comfort.
Residential
Our residential treatment program offers a highly structured and supportive environment, essential for clients with dual diagnoses. Here, individuals can immerse themselves in recovery without the distractions or triggers of their regular environment. This level of care provides 24-hour support and includes a range of therapeutic activities designed to treat both the substance use disorder and the accompanying mental health condition.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) serves as a bridge between inpatient care and outpatient treatment. It is ideal for clients who require substantial support and structured therapy but have a stable living situation. In PHP, clients spend several hours each day at the treatment facility engaging in intensive therapy sessions and return home or to a sober living environment during off-hours.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for clients who are ready to resume their daily responsibilities but still need regular support and treatment. IOP participants typically attend therapy sessions several times a week, focusing on integrating recovery strategies into their everyday lives, managing their dual diagnosis effectively, and maintaining sobriety.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient rehab offers the greatest level of flexibility, suitable for clients with mild dual diagnosis conditions or those transitioning from more intensive treatment programs. This program allows individuals to continue their recovery while maintaining their normal daily activities, such as work or school. Therapy sessions are scheduled around each client’s personal commitments, providing ongoing support as they apply recovery skills in real-world settings.
How Do We Treat Dual Diagnosis Disorders?
Our treatment modalities are diverse and specifically chosen to address the complexities of dual diagnosis.
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment particularly useful in dual diagnosis contexts for managing depression and other mental health conditions resistant to conventional treatments. By using magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain, TMS can significantly improve symptoms, offering a vital therapeutic option without the need for medications.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is employed in dual diagnosis treatment to help clients gain more control over their brain function. By observing real-time feedback of their brain activity, clients learn to regulate their brain waves, which can be instrumental in managing symptoms of both mental health disorders and addiction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of dual diagnosis treatment. It assists clients in identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health disorders and substance abuse, promoting healthier coping mechanisms and effective relapse prevention.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is highly effective in dual diagnosis treatment, focusing on emotional and behavioral regulation. It helps clients develop skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which are crucial for managing complex emotional disorders and addiction.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic method used in dual diagnosis treatment to process and release unprocessed trauma that may be locked in the subcortical areas of the brain. This technique helps clients address the root causes of their emotional and behavioral issues, promoting deeper healing.
Family Therapy
Family Therapy integrates family members into the treatment process, which is vital in dual diagnosis cases. This approach helps improve communication and resolve conflicts within the family system, providing support and facilitating a more supportive environment for recovery.
Relapse Prevention
Relapse Prevention is an essential component of dual diagnosis treatment, equipping clients with the skills to identify early warning signs of relapse and implement strategies to maintain sobriety. This proactive approach helps clients manage both their mental health conditions and substance use over the long term.
