Dual Diagnosis Residential Treatment

Dual diagnosis residential treatment is offered to those suffering from emotional, medical or psychiatric conditions accompanied by progressive substance abuse. The process leading to effective treatment of these conditions begins with a thorough examination and assessment of the client condition, their medical history and patterns of drug abuse.
Often a professional interventionist is retained to assure the client enters a dual diagnosis residential treatment program for a minimum of 28 days. After detoxification, the patient takes up residence within the facility.

Typically, a dual diagnosis patient is in jeopardy of losing most that he holds as value to him; his money, his job, his home, his family, his health, his friends and eventually, his life.
Such patients succeed best when recovery is offered in an environment where he is able to improve at his own pace with a minimum of interference from the outside. In residential treatment, the patient is always under supervision; his activities, his progress or struggles, and his general behavior. Of critical importance at this stage in a dual diagnosis residential treatment program is the importance of separating the client from his drug-using friends.
