Orange County Detox & Rehab Center - Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment California

Therapy for Mood Disorders in Addiction Recovery

Healing the mind to support long-term recovery.

At Oasis Treatment Centers, we understand that substance use often goes hand-in-hand with underlying mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety-related conditions. This co-occurrence, known as dual diagnosis, requires specialized, integrated care.

Our clinical team provides evidence-based therapy designed to treat both addiction and mood disorders—because addressing one without the other can leave recovery incomplete.

Why Treating Mood Disorders Matters

Mood disorders can contribute to the development of substance use as individuals turn to drugs or alcohol to manage emotional pain, instability, or distress. Conversely, substance use can worsen symptoms of mood disorders over time. That’s why treating both conditions together is critical for long-term healing and relapse prevention.

Therapeutic Approaches We Use

Our licensed therapists and addiction recovery facilitators use a range of evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s needs, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

    Helps clients challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):

    Teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness for managing intense feelings.

  • Trauma-Informed Therapy:

    For clients with mood disorders linked to past trauma.

  • Medication Management:

    For mood stabilization when appropriate, supervised by our
    medical team.

  • Individual & Group Therapy:

    Combines personal insights with peer support to reinforce lasting emotional balance.

  • Integrated Recovery at Oasis Treatment Centers

    We don’t just treat addiction—we help our clients rebuild their mental and emotional well-being. Our team works closely with each individual to create a personalized treatment plan that targets the root causes of both substance use and mood instability.

    Whether you're in detox, residential treatment, or outpatient care, therapy for mood disorders is woven into your recovery experience—ensuring you’re supported every step of the way.
