Treatments
Montana's dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization levels of care are available. Therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and experiential therapy address both disorders simultaneously and promote overall health. The benefit of dual diagnosis is that both conditions are treated at the same time, drastically increasing the odds of successful long-term recovery.
It is important to address mental health in rehab because we know that some mental conditions like depression and anxiety can be the root causes of substance abuse. Many mental health disorder symptoms are extremely stressful and cause great anxiety, which often pushes people to use drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism. On the other hand, substance abuse directly increases a person's chances of developing a mental health condition.
