With Oxbow's specialized substance abuse program, we provide comprehensive treatment for individuals with dual diagnosis substance addictions. Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, occurs when a person experiences both a substance use disorder, such as drugs and alcohol, and a mental health disorder simultaneously. Treating these intertwined conditions requires a nuanced, integrated approach to ensure effective recovery.
Dual diagnosis presents unique challenges that must be addressed for successful treatment:
- Interconnected Symptoms: Substance use and mental health disorders often exacerbate each other, making it crucial to treat both simultaneously.
- Increased Complexity: The presence of a mental health disorder can complicate addiction treatment, requiring specialized care.
- Enhanced Vulnerability: Individuals with dual diagnosis are at higher risk for severe health complications, relapse, and difficulty in daily functioning.
Students with substance addictions must be stabilized prior to coming to our facility.
At Oxbow Academy, we are committed to helping individuals with dual diagnosis achieve lasting recovery and improved mental health. Our compassionate, experienced team is here to provide the integrated care and support needed to navigate the complexities of dual diagnosis.
Take the first step towards a healthier, balanced life. Contact us today to learn more about our program and how we can support you or your loved one on the path to recovery.

Treatment Modalities for Substance Addiction
At our substance abuse program, we offer a range of evidence-based treatment modalities designed to help individuals overcome addiction and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. Our approach integrates several therapeutic techniques to address the unique needs of each client. Below, we provide an overview of three key therapies we utilize:
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help clients manage emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships. It focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps clients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, change negative thinking patterns, and build problem-solving skills to support lasting recovery.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages clients to accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment and commit to actions that align with their values. It focuses on acceptance, values clarification, commitment to action, and mindfulness to promote a meaningful, substance-free life.
