DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT

Dual Diagnosis Treatment at Enterhealth

What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

Many people struggling with substance abuse and addiction also contend with co-occurring mental health issues, a condition known as a dual diagnosis. In traditional addiction treatment models, treatment for addiction and treatment for mental health remain separated, with the prevailing line of thinking being that it’s better to treat the addiction first, then address the mental health issues.

Enterhealth’s approach to treatment is different. Thanks to our combination of highly trained mental health practitioners, physicians, therapists, and other professionals, we’re able to treat both conditions at the same time – known as dual diagnosis treatment.

This method of treatment is proven to be more effective than traditional methods, which is one reason why Enterhealth is successful in 84% of patients we treat.

Common mental health conditions that affect people with substance abuse include:
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Personality disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • Sleep Disorders

Benefits of Dual Diagnosis Treatment

While addiction and mental health issues are two distinct problems, they’re often inseparably linked. Because of this, when the person tries to stop drinking or using drugs, the underlying mental health condition worsens, making it difficult for them to participate in treatment and greatly increasing the chances of relapse.

By addressing both conditions simultaneously, dual diagnosis treatment at Enterhealth helps patients feel more comfortable, hopeful, and empowered to change their lives. Most important, it allows them to fully participate in a comprehensive and highly personalized addiction treatment program right from the start.

ASSESSMENTS

ADDICTION DOES NOT LIVE IN ISOLATION.

There are many factors that affect whether someone will become addicted to drugs or alcohol. Because different substances damage different parts of the brain and the effects vary from person to person, treatment should never be one-size-fits-all.
