Alcohol Treatment and Dual Diagnosis
Cirque offers dual diagnosis to the alcoholic. A majority of individuals that we treat can also be diagnosed as having a form of co-occurring disorder, like depression, bi polar, anxiety or eating disorders. Alcohol treatment is tailored to address the conditions of addiction, as well as therapy and care for the disorder. Each individual in alcohol and drug rehab works personally through their own specific program. Our psychiatric professional meets regularly with all residents to help them with their dual diagnosis needs.
Dual diagnosis is an effective approach to individuals who are unaware they even have such a condition. Once in alcohol treatment, they experience emotions and feelings they have never experienced; mainly because these were masked by the constant drinking. An advantage of dual diagnosis is that we can properly diagnose and treat the individual for their condition. All the while they are receiving proper therapy, care and support for their alcoholism problem. Both conditions require coping strategies for the initial months of recovery. Cirque’s balanced program provides many avenues for developing skills for this process.
