Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

I went to an alcohol rehab program when I was 19 and after completing it I was drinking again in three weeks. Of course I blamed the alcohol rehab for not providing good care and not meeting my needs. When things went wrong it was never my fault. As I continued to drink I became more and more depressed, so the soltution was cocaine. I figured the cocaine would lift my spirits and get me out of my depression. All that happened is I began to use more and more cocaine and ended up in a major car accident. The judge gave me a choice to either go back to the alcohol rehab program or go to jail….I chose the alcohol rehab program.

This time in the alcohol rehab not only was I more serious, but they took the time to re-assess my depression. They determined that I should go on antidepressants, which I gladly did, and I worked hard in rehab. Together we determined that the term dual diagnosis applied to me, so not only was I in alcohol rehab, but in dual diagnosis treatment. Dual diagnosis treatment was exactly what I needed. Between alcohol rehabilitation and treatment of my depression I felt like a new person.

I have been sober for 9 months now and am still taking my medications. I even go and speak at the alcohol rehab program I went through to share the benefits of sobriety and dual diagnosis treatment if it is appropriate. I think recovery is great and so is alcohol rehab!

Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment was what I needed, but that didn’t mean I wanted it. I was resistant and in denial. I felt that dual diagnosis treatment was for crazy people and drug treatment was for people who had a problem and I clearly did not. Today, I realize that I was the one with the drug problem and was clearly acting crazy.

After several more years of using drugs to compensate for my depression, life finally caught up with me. I went to a dual diagnosis drug treatment center located in Jacksonville, Florida. The dual diagnosis treatment program and drug treatment program were located on the same campus and both treatment programs were provided together. It was wild to understand that dual diagnosis treatment and drug treatment were one of the same. That in dual diagnosis treatment your addiction and mental health problems were treated simultaneously.

I attended a drug abuse treatment center in 1999 for oxycontin addiction and depression. I went through oxycontin detox but was still really depressed. The drug abuse treatment center told me to wait a few days to see if the depression was a result of drug abuse or was physiological. After a week of drug abuse treatment I didn’t feel any better so the drug abuse treatment center sent me for a depression evaluation.

After the evaluation the psychiatrist believed that the depression was not entirely the result of drug abuse and I would need medication and dual diagnosis treatment. The drug abuse treatment center had the ability to provide dual diagnosis treatment so I didn’t have to transfer. That was great because I really liked the staff in this drug abuse treatment center.

I learned that drug abuse treatment and dual diagnosis treatment can go hand in hand and should. When drug abuse treatment is provided the ability to assess for dual diagnosis treatment is critical. To locate dual diagnosis treatment or drug abuse treatment, call 1-800-511-9225, a national drug abuse treatment helpline and they will assist you.

After numerous relapses from my drug addiction which began in Georgia and was comprised of alcohol and cocaine, I met with a therapist in Atlanta, Georgia who suggested I might suffer from depression or bipolar disorder. Wile most people might have been worried, I was actually relieved. He told me that this was called having a dual diagnosis. He told me there was plenty of dual diagnosis help in Georgia, depending on what kind of dual diagnosis treatment I needed.
