What is a Dual Diagnosis Rehab?
Dual diagnosis rehab is designed to treat addictions and co-occurring mental health disorders. Most women seeking addiction treatment also have secondary diagnoses like anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, or trauma. Untreated mental health issues can be devastating for women dealing with the disease of addiction and can be one of the primary reasons for relapse.
When treating women with a history of alcohol or drug abuse, it is essential to treat the whole person, body, mind, and spirit to have the best chance at recovery. If all aspects of their illnesses are not treated, they are unlikely to overcome their addiction. Finding the right treatment center can be the difference in success or relapse for you or your loved one. The Fullbrook Center in Texas combines proven addiction treatment modalities with comprehensive dual diagnosis rehab services, giving women the best possible chance to conquer their addiction.

Signs of a Co-Occurring Disorder in Women
Signs that you or a loved one might be dealing with addiction and a co-occurring disorder and need dual diagnosis addiction treatment:
- Increased use of drugs/alcohol
- Engaging in risky behaviors
- Withdrawal from family or friends
- Sudden changes in behaviors
- Unable to focus on tasks
- Irrational thinking
- Low energy or motivation
- Extreme mood changes
If you or a loved one might have a co-occurring mental health disorder, we encourage you to be screened by a professional. There are many contributing factors and treatment opportunities a trained professional can help you navigate.
Common Types of Women’s Co-Occurring Disorders Seen in Substance Abuse
Below are some common co-occurring disorders seen in women with substance abuse:
Anxiety Disorders: There are several different types of anxiety diagnoses. The most common is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Women who suffer from GAD have a persistent feeling of anxiety or dread. If these feelings persist, they can affect a woman’s daily life and perpetuate the abuse of drugs or alcohol. Other types of anxiety diagnoses seen in substance abuse are social anxiety, panic disorder, and various phobia-related disorders. At The Fullbrook Center, we combine addiction treatment and dual diagnosis modalities to create the perfect plan for women.
Depression: Depression can present in various forms. Some of the common symptoms of depression are feelings of sadness, hopelessness, irritability, or even guilt. At times, women may notice appetite changes and difficulty sleeping. As the depression progresses, some will have thoughts of death or suicide. Addiction and depression can fuel each other, creating an endless cycle of relapse. Both can be overcome when in the right treatment center.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Most individuals are familiar with this mental health diagnosis. ADHD has ongoing patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. As with most co-occurring disorders, some women show all the symptoms while others only show a few. Paying attention and adhering to suggestions given in addiction treatment can be more difficult for women with untreated ADHD. At The Fullbrook Center, we manage the symptoms of ADHD through work with our therapist and psychiatrist so each woman can get the most out of treatment.
Bipolar Disorder: The three types of bipolar disorder (BP) are bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder. All three of these co-occurring disorders show changes in mood and energy. Women dealing with BP may fluctuate from being overly active and getting little sleep to being in a depressive state and not wanting to get out of bed. BP is a common diagnosis seen in substance abuse and can contribute to continued relapse if not treated alongside the addiction.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Everyone processes life events differently. Therefore, past trauma is not the same for all. After experiencing certain events from childhood, acts of violence, ongoing abuse, or military deployment that are particularly traumatic, a woman may be diagnosed with PTSD. The Fullbrook Center specializes in the dual diagnosis treatment of addiction and PTSD, providing trauma therapy specific to women and their needs.
Treating Women With Co-Occurring Disorders and Addiction in Texas
It may feel overwhelming when seeking treatment for addiction and a co-occurring disorder. For women to recover, they need a dual diagnosis program that specializes in substance abuse and mental health. You want a treatment program that provides addiction-trained therapists and psychiatrists.
A minimum of a 30-day stay is recommended for residential treatment. It takes the body time to clear the substances before the mind can begin healing. Allowing yourself or your loved one enough time in rehab allows your treatment team the time to make sure you have an accurate mental health diagnosis and are on a sustainable recovery plan.
Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Designed for Women
How We Combine Women’s Mental Health and Addiction Treatment
Dual diagnosis treatment programs combine mental health and addiction treatment to provide women with customized treatment plans providing the best opportunity to overcome addiction. Women with dual diagnosis have specific needs that must be met while in treatment.
When you combine drug and alcohol use and a co-occurring disorder, getting an accurate mental health diagnosis can be difficult. Here, our program starts with detox. Detox clears the mind and body so we can accurately diagnose and create a specialized treatment plan for each client.
Once detox is complete, treatment can begin. Women meet with our psychiatrist for a mental health assessment to determine if there are any underlying mental health disorders and to discuss if medication management might be a good choice for that individual. Each person’s diagnosis and circumstance are unique, so you and your treatment team will discuss the best option for you.
In addition to our psychiatric services, we provide intensive therapy sessions. Each woman will receive an individual therapist to work with them for the duration of their treatment stay. Confronting alcohol addiction or drug dependency head-on, our addiction specialists create an individualized treatment plan, aid women in the recovery process, and provide relapse prevention tools needed to achieve long-term recovery.
Individual Therapy: In one-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician, you will explore the factors contributing to your mental illness and substance use. Our therapists use a tailored approach that works best for your needs, whether it’s cognitive-behavioral therapy or dialectical behavioral therapy. We ensure you receive the coping skills you need.
Group Therapy: Our groups are also very popular for women dealing with depression, anxiety, or other conditions along with substance use disorders. In these settings, you will find a safe haven for recovery. Each group member and facilitator understands what you’re going through and is prepared to support you in your recovery. By opening up and discussing your experience, you can finally find relief and lasting change.
Equine Therapy: At The Fullbrook Center, we provide transformative equine therapy as a form of experiential treatment for women struggling with addiction and mental illness. Through engaging activities and interactions with horses, this therapy facilitates self-exploration, emotional awareness, and personal development. By addressing triggers, fostering coping skills, and delving into underlying issues, our Equine Therapy plays a crucial role in addiction treatment, guiding women towards lasting recovery and holistic well-being.
