DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT

Dual diagnosis treatment is the treatment of both
addiction and/or alcoholism on the one hand, as
well as a separate mental health disorder on the
other hand. Addicts and alcoholics can suffer
from any one of these disorders, and treating
them is just as vital as treating addiction
itself. Addiction Recovery Network believes that
co-occurring disorders such as bipolar disorder,
depression, anxiety, and personality disorders
must be treated in conjunction with the
addiction. Our treatment for co-occurring
disorders provides a different approach to the
addiction recovery by tailoring our treatment
program to the individual and the disorder they
are suffering from.If you suffer from mental
health and substance abuse you are not alone.
Approximately 50 of individuals with mental
health disorders also suffer from substance
abuse. Many times individuals who have mental
health illness will use drugs and/or alcohol to
self-medicate. Thats why we tailor our dual
diagnosis treatment programs to the individual
and provide education during the treatment. By
educating the individual on their disorder, it
will help them understand why they think or feel
a certain way and help prevent relapse. Our goal
is simple here, we dont succeed until each
individual is addiction free. Dual diagnosis,
sometimes called co-occurring disorders or
comorbidity, is a crucial part of any addiction
treatment program. Likewise, about 1 in every 4
addicts or alcoholics is said to experience
clinical depression, anxiety, or another mental
health issue.
