Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment is a form of care available in addiction treatment centers where clinicians have the ability to address a person's drug addiction and coexisting mental health disorder concurrently.

At Lakeview's A New Life Recovery Center, we place an emphasis on Christ as the higher power and source of strength throughout the recovery process. The dual diagnosis treatment at A New Life offers patients the opportunity to attend church services and set aside time for prayer and reflection and also includes pastoral services and counseling.

Types of Mental Health Disorders Requiring Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Conditions of co-occurring dual diagnosis disorders may involve drug addiction, alcoholism or even an eating disorder. Dual diagnosis treatment is quite common in drug and alcohol rehabs, with more than 60% of patients admitted suffering from some type of mental health disorder along with their addiction. When providing dual diagnosis treatment, we have found there is no one particular prominent mental health disorder. All can be treated successfully.

Mental health disorders in commonly found in dual diagnosis treatment cases include:

• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Mood disorder
• Anxiety disorder
• Post traumatic stress disorder
• Borderline personality disorder

Dual Diagnosis Treatment at A New Life

The dual diagnosis treatment we provide in Lakeview's A New Life Recovery Center begins with a thorough evaluation by our board-certified psychiatrist. After a firm diagnosis is formed, dual diagnosis treatment continues with the dispensing of medication if needed and various forms of therapy. We believe that both disorders - substance abuse and the mental health disorder; need to be treated concurrently while the patient resides in the dual diagnosis treatment center.

Upon completion of dual diagnosis treatment, a clinician will design a continuing care plan for every patient. This aftercare plan will provide guidelines to help you maintain recovery and avoid relapse.
