Psychiatric services are a vital part of addiction treatment for Palm View clients that struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders. These services include medication management and therapy, which helps clients address underlying mental health issues that may contribute to their addiction.
Psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants and antipsychotics, can help clients manage symptoms of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. These medications can also be used to address symptoms of addiction, such as cravings and withdrawal. However, it is important to note that medication management should be done in conjunction with therapy and other addiction treatment services, and under the guidance of a licensed psychiatrist or other mental health professional.
In addition to medication management, therapy can help individuals develop coping skills and strategies for managing triggers and stressors that may contribute to their addiction. Therapy can also address underlying emotional issues that may contribute to mental health symptoms and addiction, such as trauma or unresolved conflicts. There are several types of therapy are used in Palm View’s addiction treatment program, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.
Psychiatric services are delivered on-site at one of our IOP offices or via telehealth. Upon entry into Palm View, each client meets with a psychiatric specialist to address any mental health concerns that may be affecting them. Palm View’s psychiatric professionals specialize in addiction based medicine and understand the interplay between substance use history and co-occurring disorders.
It is important to note that not all individuals in Palm View’s addiction rehabilitation program require psychiatric services. However, for clients who are struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders, access to psychiatric services can be crucial to achieving long-term recovery. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, Palm View’s clients can better manage their symptoms and achieve lasting wellness.
