Rehab Center In Naples Offers Dual Diagnosis Treatment

December 18, 2018 – – WhiteSands Treatment Center in Naples, FL, has announced that they have published an article on dual diagnosis treatment. The rehab center is offering dual diagnosis rehab and has therefore posted an article titled, “Florida Dual Diagnosis Rehab: A Whole-Patient Approach to Prevent Relapse” to help people under this particular type of treatment.

Joe Ducey, spokesperson for WhiteSands Treatment Center, says, “A Florida dual diagnosis rehab such as WhiteSands provides a solution to the co-occurring mental disorder problem; simultaneous treatment for both the mental disorder and addiction. Approached in such a way, both the causes of a person’s addiction and the addictive behavior and thinking can be addressed, allowing the person to have a real chance at a full recovery.”

Indeed, an untreated mental disorder has often been found to be one of the many causes of addiction. Oftentimes, people may use alcohol or drugs as a way to escape the symptoms of their mental disorder. For instance, a person who is suffering from social anxiety may turn to alcohol to relieve that anxiety for a short time. However, over time, the person develops a dependence on alcohol, which results in alcohol addiction. Meanwhile, treating the alcohol addiction solely may only be successful for a short time as the pressure exerted by the mental disorder would gradually cause the person to relapse.

The problem is that patients are often unaware that they have a mental disorder. That is why upon entering rehab, patients need to be assessed by a health professional such that both their mental and physical health are evaluated before starting a medical detox program. If there are potential mental health issues, after medical detox, the patient undergoes addiction and mental disorder treatment.

Meanwhile, at the end of the article, WhiteSands Treatment Center has listed some resources that families who have a person with an addiction problem can use to better understand what can be done to help their loved one. In view of the rising number of drug addictions, such resources are essential for families who have an addiction problem.
