It’s okay if you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed right now. Maybe you’re struggling with something that feels bigger than you, something you can’t quite put your finger on. Perhaps you’ve been told you have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), or maybe you’re just starting to understand what’s been happening to you. DID, which used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder, is a condition where someone has different identities or “alters” that seem to take over at different times. It’s not like switching costumes; it’s a deeper disconnect in how you experience yourself. Common symptoms of DID include gaps in memory, feeling detached from your body, and hearing voices or experiencing things that others don’t. These are the result of past traumas and the mind way of handling it.
Now, let’s talk about why you might be here: substance abuse. For many people with DID, drugs or alcohol might have become a way to cope with the intense feelings or confusion that come with the disorder. It can be like trying to quiet the inner chaos or numb the pain. However, using substances can make DID symptoms worse and create a really difficult cycle. It’s hard to untangle which came first, DID or substance use. However, both of these are big issue and they both needs a special focus to recover. The good news is that you’re not alone, and there is a way forward with the right help. We understand this can be scary and complex but at Asana Recovery, we are here to help you understand your issue and we are here to provide a customized treatment plan that’s right for you.
It’s really important to treat DID and substance abuse at the same time. A customized plan means that we don’t just treat the addiction but also address the underlying causes of both DID and substance abuse. This approach acknowledges the connection between trauma and substance use and aims to address them both holistically. This way, you’re not just putting a band-aid on the problem, you’re actually dealing with it in a way that leads to long-term healing. This is where Asana Recovery in Orange County comes in, providing a path to recovery that addresses your unique needs. If you’re ready to take the first step towards healing, know that help is just a phone call away. Contact Us today to learn more about our programs.
Dealing with DID and substance abuse together is not easy. It’s like fighting a battle on two fronts at once. People with DID often face unique challenges in substance abuse treatment because their experiences and reactions can be very different from someone who doesn’t have DID. Imagine trying to recover while also navigating different identities or the constant feeling of not being in control. It can be confusing and overwhelming for both you and the people who are trying to help. For example, some of your “alters” might want to get sober while others may not, which can create internal conflict and make it hard to stay consistent in recovery.
One of the biggest reasons why DID and substance abuse go hand-in-hand is trauma. Often, DID develops in response to severe and repeated trauma, especially in childhood. As a way to survive these horrific experiences, a child’s mind may create these different identities as a way to disconnect from the pain. Then, when the feelings or memories of the trauma surface again, it can be difficult to manage. Someone can turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to block or numb these feelings. This is why at Asana Recovery, we know it is important to address the underlying trauma to understand your DID and addiction. It’s about addressing the wounds that fueled this cycle to begin with. If you’re curious about the specific therapies we use to address trauma, we have dedicated programs like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Addiction that can help.
It’s incredibly important to treat both DID and substance abuse at the same time. Treating just one while ignoring the other can be ineffective and can even be harmful. The symptoms of DID can make it difficult to maintain sobriety. If DID is not addressed and it is left untreated, the symptoms can interfere with someone’s ability to commit and follow the program. When we address both issues together, we’re not just treating the symptoms, we’re addressing the root causes of both. Remember, you’re not alone in this. Many people have found their way to recovery and you can too. Let Asana Recovery help you start this healing journey. Contact Us to begin the process.
A customized treatment plan is like a roadmap specifically designed for you and your unique situation, acknowledging that no two journeys are the same. If you have DID and substance abuse issues, it’s essential that the treatment plan addresses both issues together and in a very specific way. The first step is a comprehensive assessment. This is not just about looking at your substance use history, but also about understanding your DID, your trauma history, and what your life has been like. This assessment might involve interviews, questionnaires, and talking with family or support people who know you. The goal is to get a clear picture of what you’re dealing with, the challenges, and your goals for recovery.
The second step is where a multidisciplinary team of professionals comes into play. This team could include therapists, psychiatrists, addiction specialists, and maybe even trauma specialists. It will be a collaborative approach that allows them to create a comprehensive plan that helps with both issues. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; it is specifically tailored to your needs. This might involve different therapies, medication if necessary, and other support services. For example, you may need specific therapies for DID alongside treatments for addiction. We use various methods at Asana Recovery, such as Medically-Assisted Detox if needed, followed by various types of therapy tailored to your needs.
Also, let’s not forget about family and support systems. Your family can play a crucial role in your recovery. They can be a source of support, encouragement, and accountability. This is why family or couples therapy can be a huge asset to the recovery process. Your family can learn more about DID, substance abuse, and how they can help you along the way. It’s about creating a support network that understands your needs and is there to help you stay on track. At Asana Recovery, we value the importance of family support and include it in our treatment approach. Remember, a customized plan is all about you. It’s a tailored approach to help you achieve long-term recovery. If you have questions or if you’re looking for the next step, our team at Asana is ready to help.

We get it. Addiction recovery is tough. That’s why our programs are founded and staffed by people in recovery – people who truly understand.
When you’re ready to start your recovery journey, it can feel like there are so many choices that it’s hard to even know where to start. At Asana Recovery, we offer a variety of treatment options to make sure your specific needs are met. We understand that you might feel overwhelmed, so we’re here to guide you through the options available. Depending on your individual situation, we may recommend different levels of care, such as Residential Treatment, also known as inpatient treatment. This provides a structured, supportive environment where you live at the facility and can be away from your triggers, allowing you to focus solely on your recovery. In this program, you’ll receive intensive therapy and care around the clock.
For those who need a structured approach but can live at home, we have the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). This is often a good next step after residential treatment or a good fit for those who need intense support but can return home in the evenings. PHP is generally a full-day program where you attend therapy sessions and receive care daily. Then, there is also Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which is a less intensive option than PHP. You attend several therapy sessions per week and still have the flexibility to maintain your day-to-day activities. We also offer outpatient services that involve fewer sessions per week, making it a good option when you’re further along in your recovery process.
At Asana Recovery, we utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) a well-proven therapy that helps you to recognize negative thought patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and acting. CBT is very helpful in addressing the behaviors and thoughts related to both DID and substance use. We also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Addiction which helps you develop skills to manage your emotions and improve relationships. Depending on your situation, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) might be part of the plan. This treatment can help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stay sober. All these treatments, along with the proper medication, helps to create a treatment that is well rounded and comprehensive. Understanding all these options can feel like a lot, but our team at Asana Recovery is here to help you find the right fit for your needs. If you want to learn more about our treatment options, please Contact Us today and we’d be happy to help.
When dealing with DID, it’s crucial to have a treatment approach that acknowledges the unique and complex challenges that come with it. This means that therapy needs to be tailored to the specific needs of people with DID to address past traumas that can be a root of your DID and substance use. This is why trauma-informed care is so important. It recognizes that trauma is often at the root of DID and substance abuse and shapes the entire recovery process to make it safe, and effective. This approach avoids re-traumatization and is very sensitive to your personal history. Trauma-informed care is not just a therapy style, it’s a philosophy that guides our whole approach at Asana Recovery.
When it comes to DID, psychotherapy is a vital treatment tool. Different types of therapy may be used to address DID. This might include working with a therapist to try to integrate the different personalities, and process memories and events, and to help with the ability to cope with everyday life and the emotions that come with it. It can be a long and intense process, but with a focus on healing and creating more internal harmony and connection. It allows you to feel in control of your life instead of the other personalities taking over. Along with individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy can also be beneficial. These approaches can improve communication and help your loved ones understand what you’re going through. It can build trust and a support system and allow them to be a support and part of the recovery process. The focus is to create an environment where you feel supported and understood.
By utilizing trauma-informed therapy we are addressing not just the symptoms, but also the deep wounds that fuel DID and substance abuse. Specialized therapies are essential for people with DID because their needs are complex and need customized care. At Asana Recovery, we are here to support you on your journey toward healing and integration.
