Alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge is dual diagnosis. We offer treatment for co-occurring mood disorders and eating disorders in those who struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. Psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety and bi polar disorder can be influential in developing addiction. The chemical make up of the brain is more conditioned to the affects of alcohol and drugs within the central nervous system, when such a disorder is present. Alcohol and drug rehab is tailored for residents to provide treatment and therapies for both conditions.

Many times, the alcoholic/addict is unaware of such conditions. It previously was not diagnosed, or the influence of alcohol or drugs on the central nervous system had suppressed them. The disorder is brought to light after sobriety is obtained and the feelings and emotions of the disorder are presented. In an alcohol and drug rehab setting, the first thing to do is properly diagnose them. This condition can be a result of addiction withdrawal, or can be a psychiatric issue. Proper diagnosis and treatment for the condition also helps in addressing the problems of addiction.

All treatment is personalized to help the individual on their own level. Those in need of dual diagnosis treatment are provided a program that addresses both the disorder, as well as their addiction problem. It used to be that mood disorders required a separate facility from those of an alcohol or drug rehab. With dual diagnosis at Cirque Lodge, proper treatment is supplied for mood disorders, all while receiving the finest in care and therapy for their addiction.
