The treatment of co-occurring substance abuse and bipolar disorder in intensive outpatient program environment

International Conference and Exhibition on Dual Diagnosis

Charles W Graham

Community College of Aurora, USA

ScientificTracks Abstracts: J Addict Res Ther

Abstract
The necessity to accurately screen, assess and diagnose co-occurring substance abuse and bipolar disorder in the treatment center environment is the foundation upon which all treatment rests. The diagnostic criteria updated in the DSM-5 better represents the spectrum of both disorders. This examination of effective intensive outpatient treatment as a step down from residential or therapeutic community treatment and as an initial treatment approach integrates the traditional cognitive behavioral with psychodynamic and somatic elements. Clients who are able to demonstrate abstract reasoning have been proven to benefit from dream analysis, active imagination and shadow work. This addresses the foundational underlying need for processing that can only be done after the client is stabilized, behavioral cravings and cues adjusted and cognitive dysfunction treated. This presentation will bring evidenced-based treatment to one of the most difficult client populations.
