Secondary Substance Use Disorder
At Elevated Healing Treatment Centers in Woodland Hills, we specialize in addressing the complex challenges of Secondary Substance Use Disorders (SSUDs). These disorders occur when an individual develops a substance use disorder as a secondary condition, often triggered by another primary mental health issue such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.
The Dual Diagnosis Challenge
Secondary Substance Use Disorders are particularly challenging because they involve a dual diagnosis. This means that alongside the primary mental health condition, there is a concurrent substance abuse problem. The interplay between these disorders can create a vicious cycle: the substance use may initially seem to offer relief from mental health symptoms but eventually exacerbates them, leading to a worsening of both conditions.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Our dedicated and compassionate team of professionals is experienced in dual diagnosis treatment. We create personalized treatment plans that address both the primary mental health condition and the secondary substance use disorder simultaneously. Our holistic approach ensures that all aspects of an individual's health are considered, promoting comprehensive healing and recovery.
Evidence-Based Therapies
We utilize a variety of evidence-based therapies to treat Secondary Substance Use Disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) are just a few of the modalities we employ. These therapies help individuals understand the root causes of their substance use, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a solid foundation for long-term recovery.
Supportive Environment
Our treatment center offers a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals can focus on their recovery journey. We believe in fostering a sense of community and belonging, which is crucial for healing. Group therapy sessions, family counseling, and peer support groups are integral parts of our program, providing the emotional and social support needed for sustainable recovery.
