Treatment for Dual Diagnosis in Our Recovery Program

Dual diagnosis is the combination of a substance abuse disorder and a mental health diagnosis. Many afflicted with addiction are misdiagnosed as being dual diagnosis clients as a result of the symptoms of their substance abuse. Substance Abuse can cause clients to slip into psychosis, depression, paranoid behaviors, etc. and Clarity Way works with each client in dual diagnosis recovery and rehab to determine whether they truly have a dual diagnosis issue before progressing with treatment of the issue.

Therapeutic Dual Diagnosis Rehab

Due to abuse of medications for diagnosed mental health problems in combination with substance abuse, many clients believe their medication is not effective. Clients will often find after a period of sobriety that it is the opposite; either clients were initially misdiagnosed or their substance abuse disorder has rendered their medications ineffective. When clients enter the program with dual diagnosis concerns the medical team first provides a medically-managed drug and alcohol detox to remove the substances being abused and then assesses where the client is at mentally. Once this has been accomplished, currently prescribed medications are reviewed by the Physician, Clinical Director and Psychiatrist. Through medical and therapeutic sessions it is determined whether a client's medication will be adjusted in any way. As part of the dual diagnosis recovery program, each client receives a minimum of 10-15 individual sessions per week in the modalities of Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, Drug and Alcohol Counseling, Family Therapy, Music Therapy, Spiritual Therapy, Art Therapy, Massage Therapy, Fitness Training and Yoga. During individual sessions clients work on addressing their dual diagnosis treatment issues once a firm diagnosis has been rendered by the clinical team.

Clients who struggle with dual diagnosis issues face withdrawal and cravings from substance abuse along with an encumbered mental state due to their mental health diagnosis. This makes treatment of dual diagnosis more challenging due to the brain's distortion from substance abuse and mental health symptoms. Clarity Way provides clients a multitude of individual sessions from a variety of modalities to foster each client's internal motivation to get healthy and promote continued investment in the dual diagnosis residential treatment process. This also allows the clinical team to closely monitor each client's progress on the substance abuse and mental health spectrums.  Though clients afflicted with dual diagnosis can have a more challenging time in treatment, the staff at Clarity Way is equipped to address the needs of each fully and to aid in each client achieving a successful outcome for the dual diagnosis rehabilitation program.
