How It Works & What to Expect

Virtue Recovery Killeen offers extensive dual diagnosis rehab treatment services to individuals struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our program provides personalized care to each client, addressing all aspects of their condition to ensure effective, comprehensive treatment.

Why Integrated Treatment Works

A dual diagnosis treatment program acknowledges that addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions need distinct but simultaneous treatment. For those with dual diagnosis, a traditional addiction treatment program alone is often not enough. Our integrated approach ensures that every aspect of the client's condition is addressed.

Evidence-Based Therapies

Our staff uses evidence-based therapies and medication management to assist clients in identifying and addressing underlying issues that may contribute to addiction. We work with each client to develop healthy coping mechanisms and provide them with tools to maintain sobriety long-term.

  • Psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management
  • Individual therapy for addiction and mental health
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Trauma-informed care and Seeking Safety
  • Holistic wellness activities and stress reduction

Better Outcomes Through Dual Treatment

By treating both disorders simultaneously, clients are more likely to achieve positive recovery outcomes. Benefits include enhanced wellbeing, improved relationships, increased self-confidence, stronger problem-solving abilities, reduced severity of mental health symptoms, and lasting recovery.

Recovery is possible. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Treatment

How We Treat. Not Just Where.

Our comprehensive clinical approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic modalities, creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT)

Evidence-based approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors driving addiction. CBT equips you with practical skills to manage triggers, cope with cravings, and build healthier responses to stress.

Trauma-Informed Care

Specialized treatment addressing underlying trauma that often fuels substance use disorders. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that PTSD and addiction frequently co-occur, and uses evidence-based therapies like Seeking Safety, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness-based grounding techniques to help process traumatic experiences safely.

Group Therapy

Regular clinical groups building connection, accountability, and shared recovery. Group therapy provides a supportive community where you can learn from others' experiences, practice interpersonal skills, and develop the peer support network essential for long-term sobriety.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians tailored to your specific needs. Individual therapy provides a confidential space to explore personal challenges, process emotions, work through past traumas, and develop a personalized strategy for sustained recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Our psychiatric team works alongside licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs) and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) to address both conditions simultaneously, which has been shown to produce better outcomes and reduce relapse risk.

Relapse Prevention

Practical coping strategies, trigger identification, and sustainable planning for long-term recovery. Our relapse prevention programming helps you recognize warning signs, develop healthy responses to high-risk situations, and build a comprehensive plan for maintaining sobriety after treatment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT)

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Especially effective for individuals with intense emotions and co-occurring borderline personality disorder, DBT teaches practical skills to manage overwhelming feelings without turning to substances.

Equine Assisted Therapy

Therapeutic interaction with horses builds trust, emotional awareness, and communication skills. Killeen contracts with trained equine therapy instructors to provide experiential sessions that help clients develop confidence, self-regulation, and healthy relationship patterns outside the traditional clinical setting.

SMART Recovery

Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) is a science-based alternative to 12-step programs. SMART Recovery focuses on four key areas: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and living a balanced life — empowering you to take control of your recovery.

Holistic Therapies

Our holistic therapy offerings include Sound Healing, Yoga, Music & Art Therapy, and Dog/Pet Therapy. These mind-body approaches complement clinical treatment by reducing stress, promoting emotional expression, improving physical wellness, and supporting whole-person healing throughout the recovery process.

Seeking Safety

Present-focused therapy designed for co-occurring trauma and substance use disorders. Seeking Safety teaches practical coping skills across cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains without requiring clients to revisit traumatic memories before they are ready, making it a safe entry point for trauma recovery.

Matrix Model

A structured outpatient treatment approach combining CBT, family education, 12-step facilitation, drug testing, and relapse prevention into an integrated framework. The Matrix Model provides a clear, organized structure that helps clients build self-esteem, restore dignity, and develop a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment FAQ

Common questions about our dual diagnosis treatment at Virtue Recovery Killeen.

What is dual diagnosis treatment?

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition (such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder) at the same time. At Virtue Recovery Killeen, our integrated approach uses psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based therapies to treat both conditions simultaneously — which research shows produces significantly better outcomes than treating them separately.

What mental health conditions are commonly treated with addiction?

The most common co-occurring conditions we treat at Virtue Recovery Killeen include major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD (especially common among veterans near Fort Cavazos), bipolar disorder, ADHD, and personality disorders. Our psychiatric team conducts a thorough evaluation to identify any co-occurring conditions during intake.

How is dual diagnosis different from regular rehab?

Regular rehab focuses primarily on substance use, while dual diagnosis treatment integrates psychiatric care and mental health therapy alongside addiction treatment. This means you receive medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and specialized therapies for your mental health condition in addition to standard addiction treatment. Without addressing both conditions, relapse rates are significantly higher.

Do you accept TRICARE for dual diagnosis treatment?

Yes, Virtue Recovery Killeen accepts TRICARE and works with VA community care referrals for dual diagnosis treatment. Given our proximity to Fort Cavazos, we serve many active-duty service members and veterans with co-occurring PTSD and substance use disorders. Our admissions team can verify your TRICARE benefits before treatment begins.
