Your Rehab Stay Could Uncover a Dual Diagnosis
When entering a rehabilitation program, most expect to be treated only for their addiction. However, during treatment clients can uncover underlying disorders that go beyond addiction. These mental health issues can even be one of the causes of substance abuse. A proper dual diagnosis is essential in treating individuals with multiple afflictions. If the mental health issues are left untreated, they can continue fueling the addiction. At The Ranch PA, we identify any underlying mental health issues and design a customized treatment plan to address them, along with your addiction. With The Ranch PA by your side, you can enjoy healing on every level.
What is a Dual Diagnosis?
If you have an addiction to drugs or alcohol and also suffer from a mental or emotional disorder, it is referred to as a dual diagnosis. Underlying problems such as depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, and panic disorders are just a few of the many health issues that can be uncovered during drug and alcohol treatment. Often, the underlying issue is a primary reason the addiction developed, so identifying and addressing the problem makes recovery an easier and more productive process. Many people who suffer from multiple disorders experience relapses because the root cause of their addiction is not being addressed. Simply treating an addiction will not help a person with a dual diagnosis. It is vitally important a proper assessment takes place to identify a dual diagnosis so the most beneficial forms of treatment can be used.
