Ridgeview Behavioral Hospital is primarily focused on treating behavioral issues. However, it’s not uncommon for those with mental illness to turn to substance abuse as a coping mechanism for their problems. Co-occurring disorder treatment addresses both problems simultaneously to significantly reduce the chance of relapse.
Therapy is at the core of co-occurring disorder treatment. Individual psychotherapy sees clients discuss their personal history with licensed medical health professionals who provide an outside perspective into the nature of addiction. One on one therapy helps clients build healthy coping skills, better understand the risks and harm of their addictions, and practice healthy living habits.
Group therapy is also used as treatment. Clients meet together regularly and, under the guidance of a therapist, engage in discussions and life skill building exercises. Clients are encouraged to share their experiences and provide support for one another. Group therapy helps clients engage with communities, which becomes a crucial skill as they continue recovery following treatment.
Activities that promote physical fitness and nutrition education are also available. An often overlooked fact is that physical and mental wellbeing are linked. Ridgeview Behavioral Hospital uses group exercise and other physical activities to promote whole person healing.
Treatment at Ridgeway Behavioral Hospital takes place on an inpatient basis. Clients live on campus with one another under close monitoring by staff. The care team helps clients manage their medical needs during their stay and collaborate to devise their care plan.
Programs are highly personalized to fit each client’s needs, but the typical stay lasts between 21 and 30 days. After completing the inpatient program, clients work with their care team to draft an aftercare plan. Aftercare includes identifying community resources to support the recovery journey and personal goal setting for the short and long term.
