Dealing with addiction is tough enough on its own, but when it’s mixed with a mental health issue, things can feel even more complicated. This is what we call a “dual diagnosis,” or sometimes “co-occurring disorders.” It means someone is struggling with both a substance use problem and a mental health condition at the same time. Think of it like trying to fix a leaky roof while the foundation is also cracked – you need to address both problems to really solve things. It’s incredibly common, and it’s not something to be ashamed of. At Asana Recovery, we understand that these two things often go hand in hand, and we believe it’s super important to address both mental health and substance abuse at the same time for real healing to happen. Ignoring one will only make the other worse and recovery nearly impossible.
One mental health condition that often gets tangled up with substance abuse is Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID. You might have heard it called multiple personality disorder. DID is a complex condition where a person has multiple distinct identities or personalities that take control of their behavior at different times. It’s often a result of severe trauma, like abuse, that happened in childhood. The symptoms can be varied, from memory gaps and a feeling of being disconnected from yourself to experiencing different emotional states. Diagnosing DID can be tricky, especially when substance abuse is also present. Often, substance use can mask or mimic the symptoms of DID, making it hard to tell what’s really going on. It takes a keen eye and a deep understanding of both issues to get an accurate diagnosis. Contact Us today if you think you or your loved one may be struggling with DID.
When someone with a mental health condition like DID turns to drugs or alcohol, it’s often an attempt to cope with the challenging and often overwhelming symptoms they face. However, substance abuse doesn’t make things better; in fact, it usually makes everything much worse. It can intensify existing mental health symptoms, triggering more episodes or making them more severe. Common substances that individuals with DID may use to self-medicate can include alcohol, marijuana, and stimulants. This leads to a vicious cycle where the substance abuse feeds the mental health issues, which then leads to more substance abuse. It’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline, and it’s why we at Asana Recovery focus on Dual Diagnosis Treatment.

We get it. Addiction recovery is tough. That’s why our programs are founded and staffed by people in recovery – people who truly understand.
California, with its diverse population and fast-paced lifestyle, sadly sees a high number of dual diagnosis cases. The state faces numerous challenges that contribute to these high rates, such as economic pressures, trauma, and easy access to various substances. If you’re looking for help in California, you’re not alone. Many people are facing similar challenges. At Asana Recovery, we’re right here in Orange County, ready to help individuals like you through this difficult time. We understand that finding the right help can be overwhelming and confusing and want you to know that you are not alone in this. You can easily verify your insurance with us to see how we can get started on your recovery journey.
At Asana Recovery, our approach to dual diagnosis is simple: treat both issues at the same time. It’s crucial to have a treatment plan that’s not just about stopping drug or alcohol use but also about addressing the underlying mental health problems. We don’t see substance abuse and mental health as separate issues, but rather as two parts of the same problem. Our team works closely together to create a comprehensive plan that addresses all of your individual needs. This means combining different types of therapy and medical care tailored specifically to you. We believe in treating the whole person – not just the addiction or mental health issue. This integrated approach gives our clients the best possible chance at recovery.
We offer a variety of treatment options that are designed to work together to help you on your path to recovery. One of our core programs is our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This is a good option for those who need regular support but also want to maintain some daily responsibilities. Within this program we incorporate evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a type of therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other. We also offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), when it’s necessary to help with withdrawal and cravings. MAT can help you stay comfortable and focused on your recovery while we address the underlying issues through therapy and counseling. We will work together to find the right tools for your specific needs.
Treating both DID and substance abuse at the same time needs a special touch, and that’s why we also offer therapies like couples therapy, which can be crucial in healing relationships damaged by addiction. For DID, we use therapies aimed at helping the person become aware of and integrate their different identities. These therapies aren’t a “one-size-fits-all” approach; instead, we design personalized treatment plans to meet your specific situation. We know that everyone’s journey is different, so we’ll create a tailored plan that addresses your specific challenges. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies you need to get on the path to long-term recovery.

Leaving a treatment program is a big step, but it’s not the end of the journey. That’s why we at Asana Recovery strongly emphasize aftercare and ongoing support. Aftercare includes things like continued therapy, support group meetings, and having a strong network to lean on. These are all super important to staying sober and maintaining your mental wellness. We can help connect you with local support groups and other community resources to help you stay connected to a supportive community. Building a good support system is essential because recovery is a lifelong commitment, and we will be here for you for as long as you need us.
