Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center Los Angeles

What is Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis, also referred to as co-occurring disorders and co-morbid disorders, is when an individual suffers from a substance use disorder coupled with a mental health disorder or behavioral health condition. Co-occurring disorders are common in addiction treatment, as about half of individuals struggling with substance abuse also struggle with mental health concerns. The good news is that you can receive treatment for both conditions at our dual-diagnosis treatment center in Los Angeles.

The link between mental health disorders and substance abuse problems

Mental health and substance abuse often go hand in hand. People who suffer from mental health conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other mental disorders may self-medicate with addictive substances to cope with their emotions. In addition, people with a family history of mental illnesses are more likely to develop an addiction. Dual-diagnosis rehab is important because treatment centers help individuals identify the underlying causes of their co-occurring disorders to determine the best course of action for recovery.

When an individual suffers from both a mental health disorder and a substance abuse problem, both illnesses interact with each other and form a cruel cycle of dependency. It can also lead to relapse and an inability to manage the symptoms of either illness, especially when they occur at the same time. Dual-diagnosis treatment from addiction and mental health treatment centers helps break this cycle by addressing all aspects of a patient’s health. This is why it’s important to treat both illnesses simultaneously.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Los Angeles

Dual diagnosis treatment at our mental health treatment center is offered to those struggling with drug or alcohol addiction and a co-occurring disorder. Our dual-diagnosis treatment programs take an integrated treatment approach to thoroughly address and rectify both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously.

Our dual-diagnosis treatment centers combine traditional addiction treatment with psychiatric care and psychological counseling to provide the most effective treatment for co-occurring disorders. All treatment services are individualized and tailored to the needs of each person to provide comprehensive care. Treating co-occurring disorders may include a combination of medication management, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, peer support groups, relapse prevention workshops, and other evidence-based drug abuse and dual disorder treatments.

For those who struggle with a moderate to severe substance use disorder and mental health condition, medical detox may be a necessary first step when arriving at our treatment center in Los Angeles. During the detox and withdrawal process, psychotherapeutic medications may be administered to help with the physical symptoms of withdrawal.

At our addiction treatment center in Los Angeles, we provide comprehensive treatment to adults and young adults struggling with co-occurring disorders. We understand the complexities of addiction and mental illness, and strive to provide a safe environment with compassionate care alongside a greater understanding of the root cause of addiction to help individuals create a fulfilling life that supports sustained recovery from addiction and mental illness. With appropriate medical care and support, anyone can safely and successfully find lasting recovery from addiction and mental health disorders.

How Can I Tell if I Have a Dual Diagnosis Disorder?

It can be difficult to identify a dual diagnosis because symptoms vary from person to person. Generally, those who have a dual diagnosis experience psychiatric disorders or mental issues simultaneously with alcohol or drug use. Signs of a dual diagnosis include the following:

• Feeling more relaxed or relieved after using drugs or alcohol
• Struggling to remain sober without a mental health condition worsening
• Negative thoughts or feelings that worsen when not using drugs or alcohol
• Trouble functioning in social and work environments
• Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
• Experiencing psychological distress when trying to abstain from drugs or alcohol

To get an accurate diagnosis, it’s important to speak with a qualified mental health professional or addiction treatment specialist. That said, you don’t need to be a medical professional to know you have a drug problem and/or are experiencing mental health issues.
