There are many dual diagnosis treatment centers across the country and we would like to take the time to tell about this type of addiction treatment since it will open your eyes to the misleading information given at the many dual Diagnosis treatment facilities you will be subjected. The reason we want to inform you of this is because while many of you are quite obviously experiencing the symptoms associated with the labels doled out in the many dual diagnosis treatment centers which may make our approach to informing you a little abrasive.
It is the experience our addiction treatment counselors that the diagnosis given in the dual diagnosis treatment centers around the country are a direct result of drugs or alcohol. For example, alcohol is a depressant and causes depression but this effect can be reversed with a natural holistic approach more soundly than prescribing more drugs while never handling the alcohol or drug abuse in the first place. A dual diagnosis treatment center is quite often to quick in handing out the labels and more drugs as therapy then dealing with the issues that are driving and creating the problem.
Our addiction treatment counselors get a ton of calls from people who have been in dual diagnosis treatment centers who are now taking several more drugs, still abusing the drugs initially seeking help for and actually are worse off than before. You should be aware alcohol and drugs create physical effects on the body that can influence the emotions and thought processes of an addict to the degree dual diagnosis treatment programs really don’t know what they have on their hands.
Addicts do experience the symptoms associated with the labels given in the dual diagnosis treatment centers for sure. What’s causing those symptoms is what we want to point out to you. Its obvious drugs and alcohol cause nutritional deficiencies and it should be obvious that these deficiencies can cause depression, anxiety, nervousness and even psychosis. So it would make sense to handle these nutritional issues first and get the addict off of drugs for a substantial length of time prior to labeling someone with this problem that now needs more drugs to handle as is done in many dual diagnosis treatment facilities
Most of the state run programs are dual diagnosis treatment centers since that is the easiest way to handle addicts. Typically methadone maintenance is also a significant part of a dual Diagnosis treatment center if the person is addicted to opiates like heroin, oxycontin or other opioid drugs.
Dual diagnosis treatment centers do not really perform any testing that might better enable a more accurate determination as to the mental state of individual prior to dispensing more mind altering drugs that lead to more problems. The person should be completely free from drugs for a period of at least ninety days or so to do this, which is not done dual diagnosis programs.
