Welcome to Morningside Recovery
Morningside Recovery is dedicated to providing world-class care in California for men and women who are chemically dependent, suffering from COD (co-occurring disorders) -- i.e., a Dual-Diagnosis, needing or requiring rehabilitation for alcoholism, or are seeking treatment for mental illnesses. We provide addiction treatment recovery and multiple-therapeutic approaches to mental disorders, even extending to treatment for bipolar disorders and PTSD treatment.
Addiction Rehab, Treatment and Recovery
We believe every client can recover and learn how to manage both mental and emotional stability. Our approaches to the treatment of addiction, care for both mental illness and chemical dependency, are based on our years of experience -- all supported by clinical research in treating clients with chemical dependency and mood disorders. Our comprehensive modules for treatment are designed to meet an array of needs, and Morningside prides itself on being able to truly address the psychiatric needs of clients with co-occurring disorders and drug addiction. We give clients the best possible chance at long-term recovery and an improved quality of life. We do this by remaining open-minded and continually investing in the most advanced addiction treatment resources, redefining how medicine, technology, and therapy solutions best integrate.
Our dual-diagnosis treatment center offers a variety of programs and approaches for individuals and families suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and/or mental illness. All of our therapists adapt their skills to the specific needs of the client. Our client-centered, integrated treatment planning takes into account the client’s culture, values, and patterns of relating to others. All clients work with a primary therapist, an alliance built on evidence-based thinking, which means picking the best clinical option available for a given client in a given context based on the best current information. For instance, a client who prefers a spiritual approach can work with a 12-step therapist. It’s all about maintaining a supportive environment and providing individual, group, experiential, and adventure therapies. Some specific therapies include: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational enhancement therapy, drama therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Morningside Adventure Therapy (MAP), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – just to name a few. Utilizing this multi-disciplinary approach offers each client the opportunity to uncover the underlying issues related to their own addiction and/or mental health problems.
Treatment, Substance Abuse & Family Programs:
Addiction Recovery, Relationships & the Family
Morningside Recovery programs offer a continuum of care that starts with a full clinical assessment and nurtures each client to a place of responsibility for their own recovery. Though often unrealized, the person with the addiction is the center of dysfunction. Families attend our Family Relationships workshops to learn about the familial roles in workshops and family therapy. They learn to identify who plays a particular role based on fear, guilt, and shame. By improving self-esteem, establishing a sense of purpose and formulating a sense of community, treatment at Morningside breaks the cycles of dysfunction. Clients find a new identity through work, school, and family reconnection. This solidifies a sustainable lifestyle of recovery that culminates in the family’s ability to self-manage emotional and behavioral serenity.
Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health Therapy:
Co-occurring Disorders, Addiction & Comorbidity
Understanding Treatments for Dual Addictions
Unlike other treatment centers that merely post the latest key 'dual diagnosis' phrases on their websites, Morningside truly specializes in co-occurring disorders. A co-occurring disorder refers to the presence of both a mental illness and a substance-use disorder. Research has demonstrated that 50% of all individuals diagnosed with a mental illness also have a substance abuse problem. More importantly, those suffering from co-occurring disorders(COD) are treated for all conditions simultaneously at Morningside. We offer both individual and group support, education, and family support during recovery. Helping a client go through assessment, on to early recovery, and achieve mental balance requires care, understanding, skill, and compassion. At Morningside, our clinicians incorporate all of these skills along with the latest evidence-based treatment approaches.
Our essential understanding of addiction is that it is broken or impaired choosing. An addicted brain has been altered in such a way that the drug has taken on psychological meaning at the level of survival, so that staying high or supplied with drugs is experienced as the solution to any life problem. The threat of the loss of the drug is experienced as a kind of psychic death that the individual will do nearly all to avoid. In turn, the addicted person is unable to make safe and sane choices until substance abstinence and recovery begin in earnest. More about dual-addiction treatment...
