Dual Diagnosis Program

A good dual diagnosis program does several things for you. It treats you for both the addiction you suffer from and the mental disorder that you suffer from. It makes you comfortable enough to accept the therapies you need. It keeps you from getting bored or too distracted from your treatment. And it offers follow-up care when you’ve finished the program so that you get help in dealing with the changes and temptations in your new life. The dual diagnosis program at Cliffside Malibu in Malibu, California, does all these things, and more. If you suffer from addiction and you’re seriously depressed, you should call Cliffside Malibu right away to get the treatment you need.

Our dual diagnosis program treats your addiction and your mental disorder at the same time. This keeps one or the other from hanging on and keeping you from healing. Our facility is designed to make you comfortable and provide just the right amount of distraction when you need a break. You won’t be bored with all the activities available, but you can choose to relax in your room. A plasma TV and wireless Internet access make sure that you can retreat to your room and keep in touch with friends, family and the outside world. And our follow-up program will help you even after you leave our dual diagnosis program. To start on the program as soon as possible, call Cliffside Malibu at 1-800-501-1988.

A Successful Dual Diagnosis Program

A successful dual diagnosis program combines the techniques found in alcohol treatment and drug rehab with the therapies that will help you recover from a mental illness. It’s necessary to do both at the same time. If only the addiction is treated, the depression remains and will tempt you back into substance abuse. If only the mental disorder is treated, the alcohol and drug abuse can undo and progress that’s been made and bring back depression. The depression can be even worse than before because of the perception of “failing” treatment. Our dual diagnosis program works hard to make sure neither of these things happens.

At Cliffside Malibu, we understand the pain of both addiction and mental illness. We treat them individually and help many people overcome these problems. Our dual diagnosis program is especially designed for those who suffer from both substance abuse issues and mood disorders. We’ve successfully helped many people over these things, and we can help you, too. Our dual diagnosis program can give you the care you need that you can’t get from separate programs. You won’t find this rate of success in an outpatient program. You need to stay in a treatment facility where you can be monitored and helped every step of the way. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988 to experience our dual diagnosis program for yourself.

Addiction Treatment while Depressed

A dual diagnosis program has to work hard to overcome the nightmare of depression. You know that when you’re depressed, even the most beautiful, sunny and warm day can seem to have dark clouds lurking just out of sight. There’ s a sense that any good things around you will give way any moment to bad things. And when the depression is very serious, it’s almost impossible to believe that you could ever feel better. This is one of the biggest challenges of a dual diagnosis program. It’s so hard to overcome those depressed feelings, especially when addiction to alcohol or drugs makes them even worse.

A dual diagnosis program has to alleviate those doom and gloom feelings while teaching you to feel better without alcohol and drugs. The feelings of worthlessness and despair that come with depression make you want to drink or use drugs. Sometimes that’s the only way you can feel good, even a little bit. Unfortunately, most drugs and alcohol are depressants, which will only make depression worse over time. At Cliffside Malibu, our dual diagnosis program will help you break this painful cycle that just keeps driving you deeper and deeper into addition and depression. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988.

Luxury Dual Diagnosis Program that Works

One benefit of Cliffside Malibu’s dual diagnosis program is the beautiful facility. It’s harder to be depressed when everything around you is warm, bright and cheerful. The gorgeous ocean view from the large living room and dining room windows works to help you feel better. The luxurious interior designs offer luxury and comfort. You need to be comfortable while you’re going through our dual diagnosis program. Can you imagine trying to do the hard work of recovery while you’re in an uncomfortable, unattractive room with nothing to do? We don’t believe this is a good approach to treatment.

Instead, at Cliffside Malibu, you have many activities available while you’re in treatment. Swim in the Pacific with our private beach access, or swim in our heated lap pool. Relax on the beach or the sun deck. Meditate in one of the beautiful gardens. Work out in our fitness center, with help from a personal trainer. Energize yourself with our gourmet, nutritious meals, and enjoy a spa treatment to further relax you. After the pain of addiction and mental illness, you deserve to treat yourself to true luxury recover at Cliffside Malibu.
