Dual Diagnosis Recovery

Dual diagnosis recovery can be challenging and difficult. It’s hard enough to recover from an addiction or a mental disorder. When you’re fighting the combination of the two, recovery is even harder to achieve. But at Cliffside Malibu, you can recover and you can leave, ready to start a new life free of addiction and the pain of an untreated mental disorder. Dual diagnosis recovery has to work on both of these problems to be truly successful. That idea might seem overwhelming. After all, going into treatment can be a frightening experience if it’s just for one thing. The idea of tackling two is twice as scary. But at Cliffside Malibu, we’ll make it as easy as possible and make sure you understand everything each step of the way.

Your dual diagnosis recovery is something that you’ve probably needed for a long time. Perhaps good addiction treatment earlier could have helped you avoid a mental disorder. Or perhaps it was the mental disorder that pushed you into using alcohol or drugs to feel better, and made you an alcoholic or drug addict. While knowing this can help with your dual diagnosis recovery, the important thing is that you resist both things together. They are attached, and if one is left untreated it will only aggravate the other problem. You can benefit from this two-pronged treatment approach if you’ll call Cliffside Malibu at 1-800-501-1988.

Methods of Dual Diagnosis Recovery

At Cliffside Malibu in beautiful Malibu, California, you have the best chance of recovering from your depression and your addiction. That’s because of the methods we use to treat dual diagnosis. First, you’ll receive a treatment plan designed just for you. Once you arrive, a therapist will begin working on your treatment plan, ensuring it meets your individual needs for treatment. You are an individual, unlike anyone else on the planet. Why should be forced to try to heal under a blanket plan that has nothing to do with you, personally? We believe your dual diagnosis recovery will be more successful if we treat the whole person and not just the addiction or the disorder. So naturally, the plan is designed around you.

To further personalize your dual diagnosis recovery, you have a choice of alternative therapies you can try. Acupuncture, hypnotherapy and yoga are a few of the therapies you might experiment with. We give you the choice to make your treatment truly your own. When you have an addiction or a mental disorder, it’s easy to feel like you don’t have any choices in your life. You might feel dragged along by your disorder and addiction. Making choices about alternative therapies in your dual diagnosis recovery lets you start taking control again. This lets you start taking charge of your own life again, and acting instead of reacting to what happens to you. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988 to experience our dual diagnosis recovery program for yourself.

Depression and Bipolar Disorder

Depression and bipolar disorder are mood disorders that often have to be dealt with in dual diagnosis recovery. Bipolar disorder is also known as manic depression. It’s similar to depression, except there is an “up” or “manic” period between serious, depressive episodes. Clinical depression just keeps the person depressed with no hope of “up.” One of the challenges of dual diagnosis recovery is that these mood disorders are hard to treat when they’re the only problem. Pair them with addiction, and it creates a vicious circle that’s almost impossible to break on your own.

But at Cliffside Malibu, you can get treatment for these types of depression. Once you get the symptoms of the depression under control, it removes a major reason you feel the need to use drugs and alcohol. Dual diagnosis recovery depends on this dual treatment, to remove the symptoms of both problems at the same time in an even approach. If either the addiction or the depression is allowed to remain in full force, you’ll have problems. The one that remains fuels the other to keep it alive. You can spend months in dual diagnosis recovery only to find that severe depression prompts you to give in to your addiction. Or your ongoing addiction can aggravate your depressive symptoms. You don’t have to stay in this destructive cycle. Call Cliffside Malibu today at 1-800-501-1988.
