Addiction doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Most people struggling with substance abuse also have psychiatric issues that contribute to their addiction. That’s where Integrated Recovery comes in. By specially tailoring services to treat both disorders simultaneously, clients achieve results that transcend the limitations of traditional treatment.
So what does integrated therapy actually look like? While counseling is a critical component of virtually all effective treatment for addiction, individuals with coexisting mental health issues should have both disorders treated in an integrated way to ensure the best possible chance of staying clean.
Facilities like Alta Mira Treatment Programs in Sausalito, Calif. use Foundation Recovery Network’s Dual Diagnosis Addiction Treatment Model. Adopting major characteristics of proven mental health and substance abuse treatment methods, this model pairs those characteristics with key components of effective integrated treatment including motivational enhancement, readiness to change approaches, counseling/support, and long-term and comprehensive interventions.
Foundations Recovery Network’s CEO/Founder, Michael Cartwright, is nationally recognized as a pioneer in integrated services and has served in a consulting capacity through federal and state appointments. Foundations Recovery Network’s treatment programs have gained national attention, as well, with results supporting the model of integrated and continuous treatment breaking the repetitive cycle of traditional separate systems of care for people with co-occurring conditions.
Foundations Recovery Network has emerged as a specialist in integrated treatment, offering comprehensive alcohol and drug treatment at Alta Mira, Malibu’s The Canyon, Michael’s House in Palm Springs, and La Paloma Treatment Center in Memphis, Tenn.
