Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs
What is dual diagnosis?: A person with both a mental disorder and an alcohol or drug problem most often exhibits symptoms of an apparent mood disorder that can range from dysthymia to a major depressive episode. Symptoms of anxiety are also a common feature, often mixed with symptoms of depression. Treatment centers with dual diagnosis programs understand the struggles people with co-occurring mental issues have and are trained to handle the many different situations that can arise. Therapists, doctors, nurses, detox specialists, Licensed clinical social workers, and counselors have been trained to help monitor patients, by monitoring physical condition and providing simple interventions to help people stay comfortable and calm. Co-occurring disorders separate dual-diagnosis clients from those who are only suffering from addiction alone. Mental illness and addiction may share many of the same symptoms and both need to be treated at the same time, to treat the whole problem. If these people do not receive treatment from a dual-diagnosis rehabilitation facility, the problems are more than likely to worsen over time. Accommodations at a dual diagnosis treatment center include:
- Evidence-based treatment programs
- Integrated Intervention
- Medication (if necessary)
- Individual or group counseling
- Self-help measures
- Lifestyle changes
- Peer support
- Private rooms
Few drug treatment centers specialize in treating complex co-occurring disorders. Our staff of licensed addiction specialists can help you find a rehab center for dual diagnosis treatment today. Most dual diagnosis rehab programs housing accommodations are two people to a room. This gives some accountability for the client and a check and balance system for them as well. Having someone to talk to when having a bad day in treatment is important and a large component of any dual diagnosis treatment program. Private rooms are available at most treatment facilities for those who feel the need for more privacy while in treatment. Exercise is an important component of treatment. While we are amid our addictions our body undergoes a lot of damage and it is very important to help the body recover, as well as the mind.
