The road to sobriety is almost always fraught with peril. Relapse is common and many of those suffering from substance abuse problems won’t recognize the severity of their illness until they’ve hit rock bottom. Identifying the true nature and severity of substance abuse is undoubtedly the hardest step that anyone seeking to recovery will take. Because of addiction’s ability to physically rewire the brain, many of those suffering from substance abuse problems simply do not have any insight into their own condition. Recognition of the problem may only come after a severe disruption to the person’s life.

Our expert attendants are able to handle all withdrawal symptoms with appropriate treatments, allowing the client to be safely weaned from the drug they’re addicted to.

Once the client has been completely detoxified, they will undergo a mental health screening.

Recent studies have shown that up to half of all those suffering from long-standing substance abuse problems have severe underlying mental conditions. Identifying these problems in the setting of an addiction recovery facility is known as dual diagnosis. It is imperative to discover if the client may be suffering from concurrent mental health issues, due to the fact that people suffering from significant mental illness often abuse drugs for reasons that are substantially different from those with normal psychological profiles. Often, those who suffer from mental illness will abuse drugs primarily as a means of self-medication. The course of treatment for this subset of clients may be dramatically different from that used for those of a more standard psychological profile. Some of the aspects of treatment for those substance abusers without mental illness may be highly inappropriate for who have them and vice versa.
