Treatment

Dual Diagnosis

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.

Mental Health

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.

Level of Care

Clients may choose to enroll in outpatient treatment to facilitate their transition out of intensive inpatient care. Working professionals and family caregivers may also prefer to remain in their home and community post-detox, making outpatient treatment an ideal option. Many facilities offer a full continuum of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient programming. Psychotherapy, recovery education, evidence-based complementary therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are widely available in outpatient programs.

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. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive.
