Dual Diagnosis Treatment at Oasis

Some of these steps include:

• Acceptance of the condition and evolving beyond ego defenses used to avoid this such as “ I’m not depressed” (denial), or “That is because of my depression” (blame).
• Development of sober coping strategies for dealing with clinical mood disorders. This involves recognizing symptoms, identifying patterns and sharing feelings in groups and individual sessions.

As the client gains strength in sobriety, they also gain skills in dealing with their mood problem, whether depression, Bi-Polar, Obsessive-Compulsive disorder or other condition. Comparative to a diabetic who is also alcoholic, quality recovery occurs when both areas are addressed.
