Multiple illnesses, such as mental disorders and physical pain and discomfort, can often co-exist in a single person and are called dual diagnosis. Conservative estimates state that sixty to seventy percent of people entering addiction treatment have one or more co-existing conditions. Frequently, these multiple conditions complicate recovery. Patients overcome one area then fall victim to another condition in a vicious cycle of relapse and frustration.
Co-Existing Conditions and Dual Diagnosis at C.A.R.E.
At C.A.R.E. we believe in treating the whole individual. Many treatment centers do not specialize in dual diagnosis or co-existing disorder, but our therapists and addiction treatment specialists recognize the existence of a co-existing disorder and define an entire treatment program around dual diagnosis patients attacking the mental disorder itself as well as the addiction. C.A.R.E.'s multi-disciplinary team will help you address each of these areas as our specialists work with you to identify the underlying causes of your problem.
Intensive Dual Diagnosis Program
Patients in the dual diagnosis program are assigned a primary therapist who is a master's level individual specializing in addiction treatment and mental health. A minimum of one weekly psychiatric treatment team visit is scheduled with the multi-disciplinary team which consists of the psychiatrist, clinical director, primary counselor, nurse, coordinator of alternative medicine and other appropriate individuals as required by the patient's individualized treatment plan. When needed, we will provide continuing case management. Those requiring supervised living and continuing care can join our continuing care program after graduation.
