Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis is characterized by the co-occurrence of substance abuse and mental or biological disorders in an individual. Because both conditions are complicated on their own, an integrated dual diagnosis treatment works to cautiously and simultaneously treat both problems while helping prevent the possibility of recurrence.
In this day in age, no one need go untreated for these ailments. Technology and therapeutic advances now can provide hope for optimum recovery for both illnesses. With each one complicating the symptoms of the other, specialized methods are best addressed while residing in a integrated dual diagnosis treatment facility.
Effectiveness
According to research, integrated dual diagnosis treatment has produced very favorable results when administered in a quality program setting. The reports of relapse, violence, hospitalization, homelessness and incarceration after this treatment are relatively fewer. Dual diagnosis treatment is highly effective in helping patients manage both conditions and adopt a more meaningful, sober and sane lifestyle.
In the first phase of treatment, detailed assessments are made by clinical staff and the case manager. These trained health care providers assist the patient in determining his or her goals.
A tailored treatment program that is geared towards training the individual to achieve and sustain sobriety becomes their map throughout the phase of primary treatment. The individual will then undergo counseling, group activities, process workshops, lectures, exercise and nutritional training and social interaction exercise to equip them to re-enter into normal society again.
Integrated dual diagnosis treatment requires a sustainable recovery plan (a relapse prevention plan), that the patient must follow to prevent relapse.
