What Are Co-Occurring Disorders and How Does Northern Colorado Behavioral Health Approach Their Treatment?

Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnoses, refer to the presence of both a mental health disorder and substance use disorder in an individual. At Northern Colorado Behavioral Health, we recognize the complexity of treating co-occurring disorders. Our approach is holistic and integrated, meaning we treat both disorders simultaneously, rather than in isolation. This method is crucial because often, the two conditions are interlinked, where one can exacerbate the other. Through therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with specialized dual diagnosis groups, we aim to address the root causes of our clients’ struggles, fostering lasting recovery and wellness.

How Do I Know Which Treatment Program Is Right for Me at Northern Colorado Behavioral Health?

Choosing the right treatment program is a critical step towards recovery. At Northern Colorado Behavioral Health, we understand that each individual’s journey is unique. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive assessment conducted by our clinical team to understand your specific needs, challenges, and goals. Whether it’s our Residential Treatment, Intensive Outpatient Program, or Transitional Living, each program is designed to provide the level of care that best suits your stage of recovery. We also offer Partial Hospitalization for those needing a bridge between residential treatment and outpatient care. Our team is here to guide you through this process, ensuring you are placed in the program where you can achieve the greatest success.

What Is the Impact of Diverse Therapy Approaches on Recovery?

The impact of utilizing diverse therapy approaches in recovery is profound. At Northern Colorado Behavioral Health, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy. By incorporating various therapeutic modalities like DBT, CBT, and ACT, we are able to tailor our treatment plans to meet the individual needs of our clients. This diversity in therapy allows us to effectively address a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and co-occurring disorders. For instance, DBT helps in managing intense emotions and reducing self-destructive behaviors, while CBT assists in changing negative thought patterns, and ACT focuses on accepting what is out of personal control and committing to action that improves and enriches life. These varied approaches ensure we can facilitate holistic healing and personal growth.

How Does Northern Colorado Behavioral Health Work With the Community Beyond Treatment?

Our commitment at Northern Colorado Behavioral Health extends beyond the individual treatment of our clients. We actively engage with the Northern Colorado community, partnering with local organizations and initiatives to promote mental wellness and holistic health. By hosting workshops, seminars, and support groups, we aim to demystify mental health issues and advocate for a society that embraces wellness in all its dimensions. This outreach not only helps in breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders but also creates a supportive ecosystem where individuals feel empowered to seek help and participate in their own recovery journey.
