Addiction treatment has come a long way in recent decades.
Extensive research and efforts from psychologists, therapists, neuroscientists, and addiction specialists have allowed us to treat addiction confidently and safely.
Clinical tests for assessment and evaluation can now provide important insight into your addiction. Our team here at Cirque Lodge can provide the most accurate, up-to-date addiction treatment available with comprehensive testing.
At Cirque Lodge, we aim to provide the best treatment for you as an individual. Addiction treatment becomes more effective when we understand the details of a client’s life.
With an in-depth understanding of your background, we can tailor a treatment program that suits your specific needs. Each client is different.
Everyone comes to rehab with a unique life story and circumstances. Getting to know the client is not only about asking questions and having a conversation. For treatment to be effective, we investigate parts of your life that you may not realize have contributed to your addiction. Thus, the more we get to know you, the more you get to know yourself.
At Cirque Lodge, we offer comprehensive psychological testing and assessments before treatment. Our tests and assessments include:
We carry out tests and assessments before treatment and continue to do so throughout. This allows us to monitor your well-being and intervene when necessary.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, many people who seek professional help for addiction also struggle with other mental health issues.
When mental health issues co-occur with addiction, a person has a ‘co-occurring disorder’ or ‘dual diagnosis.’ Common disorders that co-occur with addiction include:
We must understand and treat these co-occurring disorders if recovery is going to be successful. Left unresolved, they make it harder to engage in addiction treatment and increase one’s risk of relapse post-rehab.
Throughout rehab, we can address your co-occurring disorders with counseling, therapy, and any necessary medication. This gives you the best chance of long-term recovery.
For example, suppose you have co-occurring anxiety and substance use disorder. In that case, there is a risk of relapse after treatment if your anxiety is not treated. In rehab, we would focus on getting to the roots of your anxiety. We offer effective tools and skills for coping and self-management of anxiety triggers.
The National Institute of Mental Health explains that people with mental health issues often turn to substances to reduce the other condition’s symptoms. Any relief gained from substance use is temporary, and the symptoms soon return.
SUD and mental health issues exacerbate each other and complicate treatment. For this reason, we are diligent and dedicated with our psychological testing. When we treat your underlying mental health issues, we put you in an optimal position to engage in therapy and sustain your recovery.
