Dual-Diagnosis Program in Los Angeles
An Introduction to
Substance Abuse & Mental Illness
Often, clients come to us struggling with a dependency on drugs or alcohol, as well as an underlying psychiatric condition. When a person suffers from mental illness and addiction, this is called Dual Diagnosis. If you or someone you love is experiencing overlapping symptoms of a mental health disorder — anxiety attacks, depression, delusional behavior, mood swings, hallucinations or suicidal thoughts as well as drug and alcohol abuse, it is important to seek 24/7 inpatient treatment in Los Angeles as soon as possible.
The Importance of Treating Mental Health
Why is Dual-Diagnosis Treatment in Los Angeles Needed?
In the past, medical professionals thought it was necessary to treat the drug and alcohol addiction first, and then begin treatment for the mental illness. Luckily, today, doctors know that the 2 conditions are intertwined, and one deeply affects the other. Therefore specialized treatment exists to treat the co-occurring conditions of addiction in conjunction with mental health disorders.
At dual diagnosis treatment centers in California, intake counselors and evaluation specialists will review your psychiatric history and evaluate your substance use patterns before helping you develop an individualized treatment plan. Dual diagnosis clients benefit from a residential treatment program that provides intensive, round-the-clock monitoring and care.
However, clients who are physically and mentally stable may be referred to an outpatient treatment program, where they can continue to live at home, go to work and take care of family members while they go through rehab.
The symptoms of mental illness can be so disturbing that alcohol or drug abuse may seem like the only way to cope. For example, denial is common for people who have a dual diagnosis. When your thoughts and perceptions are affected by mental illness, it’s easy to neglect your own care. Depression can make you feel that your life isn’t worth saving, while anxiety may drive you away from contact with others.
Getting your life back on track requires professional help, family and peer support, and hope. It can be difficult to feel a sense of hope when addiction and mental illness are clouding your thoughts, but we have seen countless people recover from these conditions, and can tell you with confidence that there IS HOPE for you.
