Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs
In every part of the country, there are dual diagnosis treatment programs available. If you feel you need dual diagnosis treatment, you have the task of choosing between these many programs. This isn’t always easy. You can make it easier on yourself by choosing Sunset Malibu in beautiful Malibu, California. Our facility is the perfect choice, because we’re experienced helping people who have a mental disorder and an addiction. We help people who suffer from just one of those things. But we also have dual diagnosis treatment programs for those who suffer from both addiction and a mental illness.
What’s different about dual diagnosis treatment programs? Why can’t you just get help for your mood disorder and go through ordinary alcohol or drug rehab? Dual diagnosis treatment programs are set up especially for those have major depression as well as a substance abuse problem. It’s necessary to do the treatment at the same time, to keep one problem from filling the space left by the other. If your addiction is treated but not your mental disorder, the bad feelings can cause you to start self-medicating again with drugs or alcohol. If you’re treated for depression, but the addiction isn’t given much attention, you’ll have problems, too. In this case, the substance abuse affects how you feel and think, and can lead you right back to debilitating depression. Choose the dual diagnosis treatment program that offers a balanced approach to treatment. Sit down and call Sunset Malibu at 1-800-332-9202.
Proper Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs
It’s not uncommon for people with these problems to be misdiagnosed, at least for a little while. And sometimes, people can be put into dual diagnosis treatment programs when they don’t need them. It’s unfortunate in both cases. But because the symptoms of both addiction and mental illness can be so similar, the mistake does happen. Someone in the throes of a terrible addiction may appear mentally ill and be placed into one of many dual diagnosis treatment programs. Once that person gets through detox and the effects of the drugs and alcohol are gone, it can become clearly that mentally they’re fine. And because mental illness symptoms can resemble things like paranoia and confusion caused by drugs or alcohol, some people are sent to ordinary programs.
Good dual diagnosis treatment programs will be able to recognize when someone is enrolled who doesn’t belong there. The harder part is making sure that everyone who really needs dual diagnosis treatment programs gets into them. It’s not uncommon for a person who needs dual diagnosis treatment to go through a regular treatment program, even more than once, before the true diagnosis is made. This happens, even though between 30% and 50% of people with addictions have some form of a mental disorder and need dual diagnosis treatment. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202 to experience our dual diagnosis treatment programs for yourself.
Addiction and Relationships
Dual diagnosis treatment programs treat the addiction and the depression at the same time. Until you experience this, you have no idea how powerful it can really be. If you’re suffering from these problems right now, there’s a good chance that you’ve practically isolated yourself. This is especially true if you’re in relationships with people whom you know disapprove of you alcohol or drug use. They disapprove because they know you’re hurting yourself. So you may avoid them to avoid feeling the guilt and the disapproval. This is common among addicts. Through our dual diagnosis treatment programs, you learn to overcome the addiction, and can restore those relationships.
You also may have trouble relating with friends, family, your spouse or your significant other. This can be because of the addiction or the mental disorder or both. Our dual diagnosis treatment programs treat the mental disorder right along with addiction. Both these things that have been obstacles between you and your healthy relationships will disappear together. The sudden change of that can amaze you. When dual diagnosis treatment programs work properly, often you’ll feel the absence of close relationships in your life and have an immediate desire to patch things up with the people you care about. For the first time in a long time, you’ll have the skills to start healing your relationships. You can do this as the rest of you heals in our program. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202.
