We understand that in order for dual diagnosis treatment to be successful we must adhere to the following protocol:Ideally, drug addiction, alcoholism and psychiatric disorders should be treated simultaneously.
• The first step in drug or alcohol addiction treatment must be medically-monitored detoxification or detox – a period of time during which the body is allowed to cleanse itself of alcohol and/or drugs and manage withdrawal symptoms.
• Once stable in detox, a psychiatrist will assess the person to determine the mental illness and how to best address it. Treatment plans are customized for each person and take a gradual approach. Those with a dual diagnosis have to proceed at their own pace.
• As with any quality dual diagnosis treatment program, Lakeview’s goal for patients is medication compliance and the complete abstinence of drugs and/or alcohol.
