TREATING CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE ABUSE & MENTAL HEALTH
Dual Diagnosis
Dual Diagnosis Programs at LA Valley Recovery
Over 40% of people struggling with substances abuse are also dealing with mental health disorders such as anxiety, trauma or depression, also known as co-occurring disorders
Substance abuse and mental health concerns often go hand-in-hand. The dual diagnosis program in Los Angeles at LA Valley Recovery helps patients identify the cause of their addiction as well as treat any related mental illnesses, so they can recover long term from both without either being a barrier to success.
​
There are many misconceptions about addiction and mental disorders that need to be cleared up. For instance, it’s often thought they’re more similar than dissimilar – which is true. There are mental illnesses that have substance abuse as a symptom, and those with substance abuse and co-occurring mental disorders.
Dual-diagnosis treatment has been shown to be an important form of rehabilitation for many individuals. However, for most people, little is known about what dual diagnosis actually means and why it can help in achieving long-term sustainable recovery.
​
At LA Valley Recovery , our program offers dual diagnosis treatment in Los Angeles, which allow patients learn how they too could achieve long term recovery from substance abuse and co-occurring mental health issues. From psych evaluations to medication management and individualized therapies, we provide our clients with all the tools needed to effectively treat mental illness and recover from the disease of addiction. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.
Some people with mental illness develop it as a result of their compulsive drug use, and some may take drugs to alleviate their symptoms. Regardless if you have anxiety or depression alongside substance abuse—they both need to receive treatment simultaneously. There could be something else going on that has caused both conditions rather than one causing the other.
