Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

A dual diagnosis drug treatment program is definitely not the same as a regular drug rehab. Trust me, I know, I have been to both and if you have a drug addiction with mental health problems you had better make sure the drug treatment program you choose specializes in dual diagnosis treatment. I am far from an expert, but I have experienced both an there is a huge difference.

Drug Treatment Rehab Focus

A drug treatment rehab or drug treatment program has as its main focus, drug addiction treatment. That does not mean they have a strong component for mental health or psychiatric problems. Without this treatment component the person with mental health problems is sure to relapse. I did. My depression got so bad I went back to drugs just to survive. The only thing I have to say about drug treatment rehab is that they need to make sure they can effectively treat the people they admit. If you are looking for a drug treatment rehab I would greatly reccomend calling the national drug treatment helpline at 1-800-511-9225. The drug treatment helpline is toll free and there are people available 24 / 7 to help you find the best treatment rehab for you.

Dual Diagnosis Rehab

Thank god I found the dual diagnosis rehab. While they had a great program for drug addiction treatment, their main focus was on treating both disorders equally. The dual diagnosis rehab had a very strong psychiatric component which helped me understand how my mental health problems affected my judgement and feelings and triggered my drug addiction cravings. The dual diagnosis treatment program gave me medication for my depression and great treatment. I have been in recovery for the last 2 years and feel great. If you are looking for a dual diagnosis rehab program I would suggest you call the dual diagnosis helpline at 1-800-231-2950. This dual diagnosis helpline is toll free and available at no charge.
