What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment is a comprehensive approach designed for individuals facing both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition. At Paradiso Recovery, we understand that addiction and mental health disorders often go hand in hand, complicating the recovery process.
Many people struggling with drug or alcohol addiction also experience conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These conditions interact in ways that can exacerbate each other. For instance, someone managing anxiety might turn to alcohol for temporary relief, only to develop a dependency that worsens their symptoms.
At our Los Angeles dual diagnosis treatment center, we ensure both substance abuse and mental health disorders are addressed simultaneously. By treating the root causes of addiction and improving mental health, we help clients improve the likelihood of long-term recovery success.
