Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program
Dual Diagnosis clients at A Center for Addiction Recovery are treated by highly qualified mental health and addiction professionals, through integrated traditional as well as alternative therapies. Our integrated treatment recognizes that substance abuse counseling and traditional mental health counseling is different, and approaches are reconciled to treat co-occurring disorders. For example, it is not enough to teach relationship skills to a person with bipolar disorder. We must also teach them to how to avoid the relationships that are intertwined with their substance abuse.Dual diagnosis treatment includes different types of assistance that go beyond standard therapy or medication: assertive outreach, family counseling, even money and relationship management. The personalized treatment is viewed as long-term and can begin at whatever stage of recovery the individual is currently in. Positivity, hope, and optimism are the foundation of integrated treatment.
