Mental health and addiction rehab programs, known as dual diagnosis centers, offer specialized treatment plans that are tailored to meet the individual needs of every client. These treatment programs are designed to simultaneously address the unique challenges of co-occurring mental health disorders and addiction. The customized treatment plans in a dual diagnosis center are based on your medical history, substance use disorder, mental health condition, and personal recovery goals.

Outpatient rehabs offer an intermediate level of care for clients who do not require the kind of intensive supervision and support an inpatient program typically provides. Many clients transition into outpatient care immediately after exiting inpatient treatment. Others enter outpatient programs upon completing detox. Some facilities offer ambulatory medical detox for clients who do not require hospitalization. Most outpatient rehabs offer a combination of services, including addiction counseling, life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

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.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

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. CUCARD provides cognitive behavioral group therapy for anxiety disorders. During group treatment, patients typically participate in small groups of 5-7 people for 90-minute sessions. Groups are mixed gender and are available for a variety of ages including adolescents, college students, young adults, and adults. Each group is short term, often lasting for 12-16 weeks. Group treatment is available for a variety of anxiety disorders including social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, separation anxiety, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. CUCARD provides personalized, intensive therapy programs for individuals suffering with anxiety disorders. Intensive treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of the presenting problem and development of goals and the intensive treatment plan. Sessions are often longer than typical sessions and usually scheduled to occur several times per day and occurring on several days during a week. They offer intensive for specific phobias, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
