What is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
You need a dual diagnosis treatment center if you are suffering from a dual diagnosis. So, what is a dual diagnosis? It occurs when you have both a mental disorder and an alcohol or drug problem. These conditions occur concurrently and immediate help in a dual diagnosis treatment center is key to recovery.
Through the dual diagnosis treatment center at Lakeview Health, both the chemical dependency and emotional or psychiatric illness can be addressed. Here you will get the help you need towards understanding and dealing with the effects this dual diagnosis has had on your physical, psychological, social and spiritual being.
It is important to understand that the individual with a dual diagnosis is affected by two distinct illnesses that interact and feed off of each other. This demands a dual diagnosis treatment center where both illnesses can be treated in tandem.
It is not unusual for a person trying to recover from one illness to be in denial of the other. The key is to resolve a person's denial, so both illnesses can be treated concurrently. Lakeview Health's Florida dual diagnosis treatment center was created to do just that. Our professional staff understands that if both illnesses are not treated, the individual is almost sure to relapse.
What Makes Our Florida Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center Different?
Historically, addiction treatment programs, drug rehab programs and psychiatric hospitals, have treated dual diagnosis separately. This has not proven to be an effective addiction treatment approach, leading to special dual diagnosis treatment centers like Lakeview Health's Florida dual diagnosis treatment center. We understand that in order for treatment of dual diagnosis to be successful the following factors must be taken into consideration:
- Ideally, drug addiction, alcoholism and psychiatric disorders should be treated simultaneously in a dual diagnosis treatment center
- The first step in addiction treatment for drug addiction or alcohol addiction must be detoxification or detox – a period of time during which the body is allowed to cleanse itself of alcohol and/or drugs and all withdrawal symptoms managed.
- Detox should be medically monitored as medical challenges do occur. Time in detox varies, depending on what substances the person is addicted to, the frequency of use and amount of usage.
- Once stable in detox, a psychiatrist will assess the person to determine the mental illness and how to best address it. Addiction treatment programs for this population should take a gradual approach to dual diagnosis treatment. Those with a dual diagnosis have to proceed at their own pace.
- The goal of any quality drug addiction treatment program or drug rehab program should be abstinence and medication compliance.
- After completing drug addiction treatment or drug / alcohol rehab, the person should be involved in psychiatric follow up and aftercare in the drug rehab or addiction treatment program they have completed in order to prevent relapse.
