Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center

Alcoholism and drug addiction always causes heartbreak and destruction to all involved. A loved one's substance abuse can lead to severe damaging effects on his life and the lives of those close to him.
Relationships are shattered, the future is uncertain and the life of the individual is declining increasingly. Underlying the progressive disease that substance abuse offers is, for many a secondary set of biological or psychiatric medical issues. Treating both calls for the help of a dual diagnosis treatment center.

It is estimated that approximately 29% of all mentally ill people also have problems with drug or alcohol abuse. Research also shows that fifty-three percent of drug addicts also present mentally illnesses.
There is a strong correlation between substance abuse and mental disorders.Each case is unique and must be addressed individually. A dual diagnosis treatment center is purposed to explain the relationship between substance abuse and other corresponding illnesses and provides treatment for both.

Emotional problems as well as mental imbalances worsen progressively until serious psychiatric disorders surface. Examples may include: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsiveness, extreme phobias, schizophrenia and other medical issues.
Most individuals with these conditions often self-medicate with drugs or alcohol in order to mediate the mood, pain or imbalance. It is at this point that the loved one should consider contacting a dual diagnosis treatment center for treatment.

Here, in addition to treating the addiction, deep-seated mental and emotional problems must also be addressed. Pacific Hill Treatment Center is a Christian-based, dual diagnosis treatment center that specializes with patients who have co-occurring disorders.
Underlying all other conditions is a weakening of the spiritual foundation. Their spiritual programs, including both a Christian Track and a Traditional Track, offer counseling and spiritual support, giving them a pathway to spiritual restoration and recovery in all aspects.
