Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment in Florida

Co-occurring disorders may include any combination of two or more substance use disorders and mental disorders identified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5-TR).

No specific combinations of mental and substance use disorders are defined uniquely as co-occurring disorders. Some of the most common mental disorders seen in Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment include:

• Anxiety and mood disorders
• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar disorder
• Major depressive disorder
• Conduct disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

The success of a person’s recovery depends on the level of personalized treatment provided. When we say our treatment is individualized, we mean that we craft a program tailored to address the client’s unique physical, mental and emotional needs.

In the client’s first 24 hours with us, we’ll evaluate their current state and work to understand what challenges they need to overcome. They’ll also have an initial session with our doctor and meet with one of our licensed mental health professionals.

After the initial evaluations, we’ll design a treatment plan with the sole mission of helping the client overcome and heal from addiction. Their program will focus on things such as:

• Addressing and identifying root causes of addiction.
• Creating a support system.
• Developing healthy stress management techniques.
• Eliminating substance use.
• Learning how to communicate emotions effectively.
• Maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
• Repairing damaged relationships.

We know every individual who comes to us with a need for co-occurring disorder treatment is different. At Transformations by the Gulf, we take an evidence based and holistic approach which by building a customized recovery plan.

• Individual therapy – The client will have a minimum of two individual therapy sessions a week with their therapist to work through their struggles with addiction and measure progress.
• Group therapy – Therapist-led session where they’ll get to talk with others going through similar situations.
• Nutrition and fitness – Proper nutrition and exercise programs are provided to help the client’s body heal and grow strong again after a substance use disorder.
• Holistic activities – Activities like yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and art therapy can help the client relax, grow stronger, and stimulate their creativity.

We know that addiction has a ripple effect on the entire family. While their loved one is in treatment, the family may also want to use this time to recover.  We also offer family therapy sessions to help improve the family dynamic with your loved one going through treatment.
