Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

Treatment for dual disorders can come in many styles, but the most effective dual disorder treatment probably takes place in a residential dual disorder program. Most people with dual disorders such as depression and drug addiction require 24 hour structure for drug addiction treatment and medication management in the early days.

Many psychiatrists try dual disorder treatment out of their offices with poor results due to addiction cravings and many patients reluctance to stay on medication. Another reason the treatment for dual disorders is better off in a residential dual disorder program is a patient’s need for medical detox services. Without medical detox services the patient is almost guaranteed to return to their old ways due to the pain. Whether you want to call it dual disorder treatment or dual diagnosis treatment, both disorders must be treated concurrently, with medical services available and psychiatric asssitance to produce the best results.

Holistic drug treatment seems to be interpreted in many ways by every drug treatment center. In fact, many drug treatment centers advertise as holistic when in fact they do not provide any holistic drug treatment services. The truth is the combination of holistic drug treatment services combined with traditional drug treatment provides for excellent treatment for drug addiction. What you have to be careflu with is thinking that holistic drug treatment alone will initiate a full recovery from drug addiction.

There seems to have been an emergence of holistic treatment centers in the last few years. WIth how difficult it is for people to recover from drug addiction, the more drug treatment approaches we have the better. I do urge you to understand what a holistic treatment center is and what holisitic services are provided. Lastly, make sure the holistic treatment center has its own drug detox on campus to allow for the optimum medical care available to you. many holistic treatment centers do not offer drug detox on the treatment facility.

For information relating to findlng holistic drug treatment or dual diagnosis treatment, call the holistic addiction helpline at 1-800-99-DETOX.

Like going to a dual diagnosis progarm is not bad enough, that means having a drug addiction and psychiatric disorder, but I was gay too. Think that might have added to my depression? Well things got worse when in the dual diagnosis program I found I was HIV positive also. No doubt this was a direct result of my high risk behavior in the club scene.

I have to say, my experience in the dual diagnosis program was great. The staff in the dual diagnosis program provided me great dual diagnosis treatment. I learned about my depression, drug addiction and dealt with my issues surrounding being gay and of course began treatment for my HIV. Sometimes I think what helped the most in the dual diagnosis treatment program was that other gay men and women were there. By having other gay people to talk to it helpled me understand and accept being gay.

Also, when the medication started kicking in, it was as if the lightbulb went on and I could see again. Who would of thought there was a dual diagnosis program that also treated the LGBT and knew what they were doing. My LGBT borthers and sisters as I call them, thank Lakeview for starting Freedom Rings, gay and dual diagnosis treatment program.

My lortab addiction was out of control and I was even thinking of killing myself because of the depression. Thank god I found the dual diagnosis rehab, which is where my recovery began.

This allowed the rehab staff to deal with my loritab addiction, as well as, my depression. While I was in detox I also met with the psychiatrist because I needed treatment for depression and it was not related to detox symptoms.

For the treatment of dual disorders to be effective in an addiction treatment program the coexisting disorders must be treated concurrently. This being said the addiction treatment program must employ a psychiatrist that is trained in the field of drug abuse or alcohol abuse and the clinical staff must understand the dynamics of dual disorder treatment. The approach to the treatment of dual disorders or dual diagnosis is more gradual than addiction treatment.

Since many of the patients receiviig treatment for dual diagnosis require medication, the addiction treatment program must be able to store and dispense the proper medication.
