Addiction Treatment and Dual Diagnosis
Those who struggle with addiction can also struggle with other conditions. Psychiatric disorders are a major influence on the development of a chemical dependency. The delicate chemical structure of the central nervous system is affected by the disorder. When addictive chemicals are introduced, the disorder can take on a whole new life. Drugs and alcohol are used to suppress the feelings spurred on by the disorder, and in no time at all, the individual has developed a chemical dependency to the substance. Alcohol and drug rehab can offer treatments for the addiction and also the disorder.
The addiction treatment program at Cirque Lodge is dual diagnosis. The program is tailored to help individuals on their own level. Those suffering from a mood disorder (depression, anxiety, bi polar) are provided a treatment plan that addresses this condition. This is offered as a piece to an already highly effective addiction treatment element. Addiction and disorders are similar in make up. They are not conditions that are fixed, they are simply recovered from. The program used helps with arresting these conditions and surrounding the individual with all the measures of loving support.
