Luxury Dual Diagnosis Treatment Facility
Why should a dual diagnosis residential treatment facility seem like a fancy hotel? First of all, why shouldn’t it be wonderful? Why shouldn’t you enjoy yourself as much as you can while you’re in treatment? Haven’t you been through enough bleakness and struggles that you deserve a little luxury? This is a good enough reason for you to choose a luxury dual diagnosis residential treatment facility. But you should consider the therapeutic reasons why our program is better than some others, too.
You could choose a dual diagnosis residential treatment facility that’s like a clinic. You would stay in a hospital-like room, if not an actual hospital room. Picture the room and the décor. The bed might not be that comfortable, and there’s certainly nothing luxurious about it. The treatment rooms will be cold and clinical, or like a cheap office. But at Sunset Malibu, your room is like a high-end hotel room. When you’re not in treatment, you can enjoy the plasma TV or wireless Internet access in your room. You can swim in the ocean or the heated lap pool. Work out in the fitness center. Hike or go horseback riding, and enjoy the beautiful gardens. You can even get spa treatments while you’re in our dual diagnosis residential treatment program. Which scenario sounds like the one in which you’re mostly likely to really absorb your therapy? Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202 to experience our dual diagnosis residential treatment program for yourself.
How Depression Affects Addiction
When a depressive disorder is part of a dual diagnosis, the addiction is often part of an attempt to feel better. Untreated depression feels miserable. Hopelessness and helplessness are huge parts of being seriously depressed. This can lead to self-medicating with drugs or alcohol to try to feel better. That’s why dual diagnosis residential treatment is so important. If the depression isn’t treated along with the addiction, then it can easily lead to a relapse. No one wants to go through life feeling miserable. If drugs and alcohol are readily available and they help, most people would turn to them for relief. So a good dual diagnosis residential treatment program addresses the depression along with the addiction.
Your depression might make you think that a dual diagnosis residential treatment program would be a waste of time. This is a common feeling. Depression robs you of hope and the ability to feel happiness. In fact, even when good things happen in your life, depression makes them harder to recognize. It’s much easier to see only the dark side of everything. A glass is never half full with depression, it’s always half empty or half dirty. Sunset Malibu’s dual diagnosis residential treatment program can help you start to see things more realistically, and help you get some hope back into your life. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202.
Unique Dual Diagnosis Residential Treatment
Sunset Malibu’s dual diagnosis residential treatment program is broken down into stages. When you come to our facility, the first thing that will happen is detox. You go through detoxification to make sure that you get the drugs and alcohol out of your system. There is no one set amount of detox. This depends on you individually and your personal situation. If you’re under the influence of drugs and alcohol, you simply can’t benefit from therapy the right way.
Your personal therapist will create an individualized treatment plan for your stay in dual diagnosis residential treatment. And for about 30 days, you’ll have intensive therapy to help you handle your sobriety. The next 30 days are less structured and can include some time off the property. The exact makeup of your treatment depends on you. You can benefit from our individualized approach if you’ll call us at 1-800-332-9202.
After Rehabilitation
The last 30 days of dual diagnosis residential treatment ease you back into your life, while you’re still in supervised treatment. Each portion can take you more or less than the general 30 day routine–you’re an individual and we know everyone does things differently. And after you leave Sunset Malibu, you’ll get help through our aftercare program. This is designed to give you the most support possible when you go back to your daily activities and resume your life. You’ll benefit from counseling and updates. We’ll even counsel your family members to help them adjust, and give you the best chance of success in your new life.
