Understanding Mental Health Disorders

Common Co-Occurring Disorders: Substance Abuse
- Mental Health Disorders: Depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia.
- Substance Use Disorders: Alcohol dependence, drug addiction, prescription medication abuse.
Long Term Dual Diagnosis Treatment Recovery Strategies
Comprehensive Assessment and Personalized Treatment Plans
At Prevail Recovery Center we start with a thorough assessment to understand each individual’s needs. This assessment informs the development of a personalized treatment plan that addresses both mental health and substance use disorders.
Integrated Therapies
Long term recovery requires integrated therapies that combine multiple approaches. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are also a crucial part of comprehensive treatment options, providing structured support for individuals in different stages of recovery:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to mental health issues and substance use.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches coping skills to manage emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors and improve relationships.
- Trauma Focused Therapy: Addresses underlying trauma that may contribute to mental health disorders and substance use.
Medication Management
Medications, including medication assisted treatment, can be a powerful tool in managing symptoms of mental health disorders and supporting the recovery process. At Prevail Recovery Center our medical professionals will manage medications to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Support Groups and Peer Support
Connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences can be very supportive and encouraging. Support groups and peer support programs provide a sense of community and shared understanding so you don’t feel alone in your recovery.
As part of the Harmony Health Group family, we provide comprehensive care and a sense of community to support your journey.
Family Involvement and Therapy
Family support is crucial for long term recovery. Family therapy at Prevail Recovery Center helps improve communication and relationships so families can support their loved ones better.
Harmony Health Group provides comprehensive care for those struggling with substance abuse and mental health disorders.
