Dual Diagnosis Facility

An aspect of personalizing treatment is in diagnosis. Proper diagnosis for the addiction problem can greatly enhance the chance of recovery. The drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge in Sundance Utah is a dual diagnosis facility. We offer a complete diagnosis and treatment for co-occurring disorders involved with an alcohol or drug addiction. The drug treatment program provides an effective diagnosis of the addiction problem and any other disorder or issue involved in the behavior of addiction.

It used to be that to receive treatment for addiction you would have to attend a specific drug rehab program or facility. If you had a disorder, like depression, you would have to go to a separate facility to receive treatment. Advancements have been made in the field of therapy and treatment. Now it is possible to receive effective treatment for both co-occurring problems in the safety of one facility. The dual diagnostic services provided at Cirque Lodge can effectively treat both aspects involved in a co-occurring disorder. This provides recovery for the addiction and proper measures of overcoming the disorder.

Treating Mood Disorders in Drug Rehab

In recent years it became apparent that treatment needed to change. More and more people with alcohol or drug addiction were suffering from mood disorders. Treatment was modified to treat the mood disorder in conjunction to the addiction problem. Mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, manic depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and bi polar disorder are now effectively treated in a dual diagnosis drug rehab program. Many times a mood disorder is a common underlying issue in an alcohol or drug addiction.

People with mood disorders are more at risk in developing an addiction. It has to do with the brain activity involved in the disorder. It makes the individual more susceptible to feelings caused by the drug or alcohol. When an addictive substance is introduced to the brain, the substance has an easier time developing a bond to the particular receptors preoccupied with the disorder. People struggling with a mood disorder are much more likely to develop a physical dependence to addictive drugs and alcohol. Making it much more of a struggle to overcome the substance of choice.

The chemical structure of the brain is affected by mood disorders and addiction. A mood disorder can be caused by an imbalance to the delicate structure of the brain's chemical makeup. Introducing new chemicals to the situation i.e. drugs and alcohol, can amplify the problem. The purpose of dual diagnosis treatment is to stabilize the chemical structure of the brain. This is done through eliminating the substance from the system and finding the proper methodology for treating the disorder.

Treating Eating Disorders in Drug Rehab

As a dual diagnosis facility we also treat eating disorders in conjunction with the addiction treatment program. An eating disorder has a very adverse effect on the body making it more apt to using drugs or alcohol. Eating disorders are treated at Cirque Lodge with support programs and an effective nutrition regimen. Eating disorders can also be developed as a result of drug addiction. Many drugs suppress the appetite and develop into erratic eating habits.

At Cirque Lodge, we use our personalized approach to addiction treatment to aide in treating eating disorders. We offer monitoring during the initial stages of treatment to ensure the client is benefiting from proper nutrition. We offer supportive therapy regarding eating disorders in conjunction to personalized one-on-one therapy for the addiction. We set aside a supportive eating environment to promote correct eating habits. We also treat for the underlying issues that could spark the desire to suppress the appetite.
