Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many people that suffer from an addiction will find out at some point that they have a co-occurring disorder and will require a dual diagnosis rehab facility. Dual diagnosis means that in addition to the addiction there is at least one mental disorder accompanying it. Understanding this is the first step in seeking out a treatment program that is beneficial. Ocean Breeze Recovery offers dual diagnosis treatment specifically for individuals with co-occurring disorders.

Many individuals with co-occurring disorders try different types of treatment without permanent success. If the person is not correctly diagnosed, or does not receive help from a qualified dual diagnosis treatment facility, relapse is likely. Going through drug rehab without treating the accompanying mental illness is ineffective and leaves the individual frustrated, and feeling weak and hopeless.

Most of the time the mental disorder comes first and it is either misdiagnosed or never diagnosed at all. These mental disorders can include bi polar disorder, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, panic disorder, or depression. When undiagnosed and left untreated the drugs mask the mental health problem and add fuel to the misdiagnosed mental disorder. Both the addiction and the mental disorder have to be treated in order to be successful in recovery.
