Dual Diagnosis Substance Abuse

Dual diagnosis substance abuse is a common, yet challenging condition to treat effectively.Requiring specific licensing and accreditation for both the treatment staff and the facility, dual diagnosis substance abuse is however, a very treatable set of illnesses with today medical advances.
Chemical dependency issues as well as emotional and psychiatric conditions are addressed. While varying from case to case, psychiatric issues normally include depression, bi-polar disorders, acute anxiety, or unresolved issues or trauma from the past.The treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation of the client's physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs and a personalized, structured treatment program is developed and implemented.

Testimonials

"You are always in a place where someone is there no matter what you are going through and you can feel safe. I think when you are removed from your environment and you don't have to deal with going to work, cooking and taking care of the kids, answering the phone and paying the bills all the things from everyday life, you can focus just on you and you can completely break down. I always tell people that its not falling apart, it's falling together."
