Mental Health Treatment
At Twilight Recovery Center, we recognize that mental wellbeing is as important as physical health. Our mental health treatment programs cater to a spectrum of mental health conditions, integrating traditional therapies with cutting-edge approaches to foster deep, lasting recovery. We are committed to supporting each client through their unique challenges with personalized care plans that aim for sustained wellness.
Mental Health Problems in the United States
Mental health disorders – ranging from common conditions like depression and anxiety to more severe forms such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia – profoundly influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Fortunately, these conditions often respond well to treatment, which may include a combination of medication, psychotherapy, holistic approaches, and innovative brain stimulation therapies.
Statistics from 2022 highlight the prevalence of mental health issues, with 23.1% of U.S. adults experiencing some form of mental health disorder. Among these, 6% faced serious conditions that significantly impaired daily functioning.
Additionally, nearly one-third of adults were dealing with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, underscoring the critical need for integrated treatment approaches like those provided at Twilight Recovery Center.
Here, we address the complexities of mental health with the utmost care, backed by expertise and a compassionate understanding of the recovery journey.
Different Types of Mental Health Treatment
From levels of initial detox to residential care and outpatient options, here’s a closer look at the main types of mental health treatments available:
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is the foundation of our mental health treatment programs. It involves therapeutic conversations and activities with a therapist to help clients identify, understand, and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. We employ several evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities tailored to individual needs, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is effective for a wide range of mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is particularly effective for individuals who experience intense emotions. It teaches skills to manage these emotions and improve relationships.
- EMDR therapy: Especially beneficial for those with trauma, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps process and make sense of traumatic memories.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): This technique encourages clients to find the motivation to change contradictory behaviors.
Support Groups
Support groups at our center provide an environment where clients can share experiences and offer mutual support. These groups help strengthen the community ties among clients, providing a network that fosters resilience and sustains recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is used to treat substance use disorders as part of a comprehensive approach that includes counseling and behavioral therapies. It can improve patient survival, increase retention in treatment, and reduce the risk of transmitting infectious diseases.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many of our clients face co-occurring disorders, such as substance abuse coupled with mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Our dual-diagnosis treatment plans address both conditions simultaneously, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery.
Holistic and Specialized Therapies
In addition to traditional therapies, we offer holistic treatment and support catering to recovery’s physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. These include:
- Holistic therapy: Techniques such as yoga, meditation, and acupuncture enhance mental and physical well-being.
- Gender-specific treatment: Tailored programs that address the particular needs of men and women separately, recognizing the unique challenges each gender faces in recovery.
- Treatment for co-occurring disorders: Specialized programs that manage the complexities when clients have multiple diagnoses.

How Treatment For Mental Disorders Works at Our Center
We approach the treatment of mental disorders with a comprehensive, multi-step process designed to address the unique needs of each individual. Here’s how treatment works at our center:
Initial Assessment
The journey to recovery begins with a thorough assessment by our team of mental health professionals. This initial evaluation is crucial to understanding each client’s specific challenges and needs. We review medical history, conduct physical exams, and utilize psychological evaluations to understand the individual’s mental health comprehensively.
Diagnosis
Based on the assessment findings, our team works to identify any mental health disorders or co-occurring issues. This stage may involve additional tests, such as lab work or imaging, to rule out other underlying conditions. Clients should discuss any particular triggers, the chronicity of their mental health issues, and any noticeable changes in their mental state to aid in accurate diagnosis.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to the client’s needs. This plan may include medication management, individual therapy, group sessions, and holistic approaches such as mindfulness or yoga. Each treatment strategy is chosen to maximize the effectiveness of the recovery process and ensure the best possible outcomes for the client.
Implementation of Treatment
Treatment at Twilight Recovery involves a coordinated approach among our multidisciplinary team. Clients may engage in sessions with trained therapists to help them explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and develop healthier patterns. Our center uses various therapy modalities, including CBT and DBT. Some instances may require mental health medications to manage symptoms effectively.
Ongoing Support and Adjustment
Recovery from mental health disorders is an ongoing process. Our team regularly assesses progress throughout treatment and makes necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. This dynamic approach ensures that care evolves with the client’s changing needs and supports their growth and recovery.
Aftercare and Long-Term Management
As clients progress through the treatment program, we begin planning for long-term management of their mental health. This may include ongoing therapy sessions, community-based support groups, or continued medication management. Our goal is to equip each individual with the tools and resources they need to manage their mental health effectively and maintain their wellbeing over the long term.
