Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

Not every addiction treatment program is equipped to treat a person with a dual diagnosis. The main focus of an addiction treatment center is to provide a person with medical detox and prepare them to be able to maintain long term recovery. The person with a dual diagnosisi suffers not only from drug addiction or alcoholism, but from a psychiatric diagnosis. This psychiatric diagnosis can range from depression to bipolar disorder.

When choosing a dual diagnosis treatment center make sure they have a board certified psychiatrist, qualified mental health staff and a variety of mental health services in combination with addiction treatment.
