Merely treating the symptoms of addiction is not enough. The best and most effective co-occurring disorders treatment for anyone struggling with a dual diagnosis involves treating all existing conditions concurrently.
It also may be possible that having a mental illness triggers substance abuse. Individuals who suffer from mental illness symptoms may turn to prescription or illicit drugs to self-medicate. It is an unhealthy but fairly common type of coping mechanism.
Through our comprehensive assessments and evaluations, we get to the right diagnosis. This enables us to address underlying mental health disorders in conjunction with addiction treatment so that you find a smoother and more manageable path to sobriety and recovery.
Integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders and addiction leads to a higher success rate in maintaining sobriety long-term and avoiding relapses. At Alta Mira, we create an individualized treatment plan that best works for your specific diagnosis. By combining treatment methods into a customized, comprehensive program for each patient, we have better outcomes.
