Some centers that call themselves dual diagnosis centers really don’t treat both problems at the same time. They may treat your alcohol or drugs addiction and refer to you to another counselor or doctor for treatment of your mental disorder. At some so-called dual diagnosis centers you might be able to get counseling and medical help with a mood disorder. But these programs refer you to an alcohol treatment center or a drug treatment center for help with your addiction. Both of these approaches are flawed. You need treatment at the same facility for both your mental disorder and your addiction. At Cliffside Malibu, we believe in this integrated approach and know how to help you with your problems.
