There are many types of mood disorders. These psychiatric maladies can be a heavy influence in substance abuse and developing an addiction. To better address this in a drug treatment setting, facilities will provide a dual diagnosis treatment to individuals. Cirque Lodge functions as a dual diagnosis alcohol and drug rehab facility. A multidisciplinary team of professionals provide individuals with treatment that arrest the disease and provide therapy and support for the mood disorder.

Individuals can find the highs from addictive substances as a release from the problems of mood disorders. This can lead to self medication. The central nervous system that is affected by a mood disorder is more likely to develop an addiction. Now on top of the strugglers of a psychiatric condition, you are dealing with chemical dependency.

Some individuals are even unaware they have such a condition. The years of abusing alcohol or drugs has suppressed these feelings. Once in rehab, they can experience things like depression and anxiety. This can be due to withdrawal or could actually be a psychiatric condition. Proper and professional diagnosis can provide a recovery program that addresses both the issues at hand.

Those who successfully complete alcohol or drug treatment at Cirque Lodge are provided with a number of different privileges. Some of these unique privileges are only found within our treatment program. These programs are available to help alumni maintain a successful sobriety. Family Week is a recurring program found at Cirque Lodge. Alumni of our drug rehab facility can participate in family week lectures and workshops when they would like a recovery refresher. Those who remain local to the facility can attend weekly aftercare meetings as well.

Perhaps the most unique of alumni privileges is Guesting. Those who have completed our program can return to the facility at anytime and guest with us at no cost. This can be a needed help during the struggles of the recovery process. Guesting provides up to 96-hours of care, treatment and support programs for those who need it. It is based on room availability, and is only available for those who have remained sober. Guesting is not just for those who are struggling. Alumni use this privilege to celebrate a milestone in their recovery. Why not in the place where their recovery began?

Prescription drugs for the right reasons can be a life saving measure.  The wrong reasons can lead to struggles with abuse and chemical dependency. The rate of individuals becoming addicted to their prescription medications is growing at an alarming rate. At Cirque Lodge, we have seen this increase in the individuals we treat with a caring drug rehab program. Even though they are prescribed by a professional, some drugs have narcotic affects on the central nervous system. Over time, these affects become the reason the pill is taken, opposed to the reason they were prescribed for. 

Drug treatment is personalized at Cirque Lodge. We use a rigorous battery of tests and assessments to determine individual needs. We then tailor a program to meet these needs with the proper forms of care.  The dynamic of those we treat is varying. With prescription drug abuse, this dynamic is even broader. By tailoring the program, proper forms of drug rehab and care are implemented according to individual need, from professionals with experience and expertise. Cirque Lodge uses a unique balance of individual care, supportive group and family programs, and a daily balance of experiential learning exercises.

A controlled environment is ideal for getting off the prescriptions.  Within this safe haven, one can develop the skills and mindset needed for sobriety; while receiving proper forms of clinical therapy, and support programs.

However, for those who do and will, a caring treatment program is available at the Cirque Lodge in Sundance Utah.

The Cirque Lodge is here to help individuals in need of prescription drug treatment. In recent years addiction to prescription medication has alarmingly increased.

Alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge is based on the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Individuals in drug treatment work on establishing the first few steps of recovery in their lives, while they are receiving treatment for their addictions.

For many, the first step is the most difficult. It requires them to admit they have an addiction and they no longer are in control. Defense mechanisms have been built up to protect the abusing of drugs. One of these is denial. The addict will go to great lengths to blame everything but their drug abuse for their problems. As the individual undergoes the treatment and therapy of drug rehab, they can begin see the realities of their addiction, and learn to accept it.

Cirque Lodge offers a caring and personalized program. When the addict in rehab is struggling to take the first towards recovery, a caring staff member is always available for help, support and therapy.

Many drugs of choice can suppress the appetite for food. As a person seeks and uses drugs, the desire to eat is not as important. This can lead to being undernourished and physical problems from lack of a proper diet. A part of the Cirque Lodge drug treatment experience is three nutritious meals a day. Our culinary program provides delicious gourmet type meals for residents, that are also healthy and well balanced.

Sometimes, the drug addiction isn’t the only problem. Many individuals also are suffering from other diagnosed mood and psychiatric conditions. Disorders like depression or anxiety can have a heavy hand in developing an addiction. People oftentimes will turn to drugs or to alcohol to self medicate away the problems caused by the disorder. Cirque Lodge is a dual diagnosis drug rehab facility. During a drug treatment stay, therapies are provided to treat the addiction and disorder simultaneously.

The drug treatment program is individualized to provide the best results. For individuals who are struggling with a disorder, the program is designed specifically to help them with both issues.

Addiction and psychiatric conditions are very similar. They are problems that don’t go away. They require daily management, and some days are better than others. Treatment for both conditions introduces coping strategies. These are elements that can be utilized in times of struggle. At Cirque Lodge, our drug rehab facility uses a unique balance of activities and programs to introduce a bevy of coping strategies. It used to be that people who suffered from co-occurring conditions required two separate facilities to receive appropriate care. Now with dual diagnosis, drug treatment and psychiatric care is available in one facility.
