Dual Diagnosis Psychoeducation Program
Support for mental health and addiction, together.
Mental Health challenges and addiction often go hand in hand, treating one without the other rarely leads to lasting change.
For this reason, Deakin Private Hospital has introduced a Dual Diagnosis Psychoeducation Program. A two week inpatient program giving admitted patients a dedicated space to to understand and work through both, side by side.
What the program offers
Across two weeks, patients build practical skills for managing cravings and unhelpful thought patterns, understanding the neuroscience behind addiction, and developing self-compassion and healthy coping strategies. The program also covers relapse prevention, rebuilding support networks, and planning ahead for situations that carry social pressure, equipping patients with tools they can keep using well beyond their stay.
