Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

In Florida, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment treats mental health and substance use disorders concurrently to enhance successful recovery outcomes and improve overall health. Specialized rehab programs include medical detox, outpatient, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Using evidence-based therapies, like dialectical behavioral therapy or medication-assisted treatment, clinicians successfully treat dual-diagnosis addiction and mental health conditions. Other activities include group therapy and skills training, to equip you with the skills required to achieve and sustain your recovery.

Mental Health

When you have a mental health disorder and an addiction, it’s known as a co-occurring disorder. Since treating both conditions at the same time is critical, you’ll want to seek out a dual diagnosis treatment center. These specialized rehabs offer the care needed to overcome both disorders, which drastically increases your chances of success in long-term recovery. Types of therapies provided tend to include individual and group counseling, relapse prevention education, coping skills training, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. This is a short term, goal oriented treatment to take a hands-on approach to problem solving. The goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior to change how they feel.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Certain situations can increase hypervigilance and arousal for the patient far more quickly than the average person’s, and take a significant amount of time for the patient to return to baseline. DBT is a Cognitive-behavioral approach that helps the patient react in a less intense manner toward certain emotional situations, primarily those found in romantic, family, and friend relationships.

Experiential Therapy

Promises Five Palms offers experiential therapies like yoga, mindfulness and creative approaches that help clients address issues in ways beyond talk therapy.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is an important part of Promises Five Palms' treatment approach. Clients often find sharing with peers who share similar struggles to be a transformative experience. Group therapy helps clients learn better communication skills and ways of relating to other people. They also gain new insights into themselves and learn healthy coping skills.

Individual Therapy

Clients meet one-on-one with a therapist to address issues that are contributing to mental health symptoms. Often these include trauma, difficult relationships, low self-esteem, unhealthy thinking patterns and beliefs, poor coping skills and destructive behaviors.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma sometimes stems from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. Trauma therapies help clients process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of specially trained mental health professionals. Promises Five Palms' treatment team is trained in trauma therapies such as: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
