Vermont's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs offer evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, experiential therapies, trauma-informed care, recovery support groups, and family counseling, to address both disorders and promote mental health. Many dual diagnosis rehabs offer alumni programs to help you sustain recovery after treatment.

In a dual diagnosis treatment setting, you are able to receive care for both an addiction and a mental health disorder simultaneously. Each personalized dual diagnosis treatment plan includes a number of different mental health therapies and services, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapies (equine and animal therapy, outdoor therapy groups, and individual or group counseling sessions. Relapse prevention education and emotional coping skills training are also commonly offered.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
