Find the best dual-diagnosis rehab in South Florida
Dual diagnosis treatment is beneficial for anyone who has a mental health disorder that’s compounded by drug or alcohol problems. Treatment for dual diagnosis addresses both conditions concurrently.
As a result, healing takes place for the body, mind, and spirit. If you or someone you love currently struggles with a mental health disorder, Reign RTC provides a dual diagnosis treatment program in South Florida that allows healing to begin.
What we treat
What Are Common Dual Diagnosis Disorders?
Dual diagnosis disorders come in any combination, but some combinations are more prevalent than others as people try to treat symptoms of a mental health disorder with specific drugs:
People with bipolar disorder experience intense mood swings, shifting between manic energy and depression. People with bipolar disorder commonly abuse alcohol or cocaine depending on whether they are experiencing a manic or depressive cycle.
People with depression disorder experience persistent levels of emptiness, hopelessness, and anxiety, no longer interested in hobbies or other pleasurable activities. Those with depression usually abuse alcohol to mask their symptoms’ severity.
Post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD takes place months after a traumatic event, and people often experience recurring stress, insomnia, nightmares, hyper-vigilance, anxiety, and depression. People with PTSD abuse benzodiazepines, sleeping pills, and alcohol to try and temporarily relieve individual symptoms like recurring nightmares or insomnia.
People with generalized anxiety disorder are excessively worried and are overcome with fear and apprehension to the point that it interferes with their daily activities. People with severe anxiety usually abuse cocaine, benzodiazepines, or alcohol. During feelings of particular anxiousness, drugs and alcohol are used to temporarily mask the anxiety or avoid feeling it entirely.
It only takes a minute for the journey to start.
What to Expect When Entering a Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center in South Florida
Data provided by the SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) suggests as many as 9 million American adults have a dual diagnosis condition. The best dual diagnosis treatment programs involve several components, including comprehensive medically supported detox, therapy, and carefully planned aftercare. Depending on your initial needs, the first step on your journey towards sobriety is detox and withdrawal.
The steps of detox will help you wean off drugs or alcohol in a safe, medically supported setting like Reign RTC. Specific factors unique to your relationship with drugs and alcohol, such as the duration and severity of your problems, will directly impact how long detox takes for you. After your body is free from the effects of drugs and alcohol, you can safely and effectively engage in a mental health treatment program.
A dual diagnosis treatment program in South Florida at Reign RTC will consist of elements to address your mental health needs. As noted above, you will have the opportunity to participate in various therapies, including group, individual, and family counseling sessions. In many programs, 12-step programs are also available. Finally, as your treatment program comes to an end, your treatment staff will work with you to design a robust aftercare plan that includes ongoing therapy and support throughout the earliest (and often most challenging) days of recovery.
The length of the detox process varies. Some people may experience mild to moderate symptoms that resolve within a few days. For others, detox leads to severe and potentially dangerous symptoms that may persist for a week or more. Our highly trained medical and mental health staff will closely monitor your physical and emotional health during medically supervised detox at our south Florida treatment center. This monitoring will allow treatment professionals to provide vital support and intervention if needed. Without these crucial elements of a detox program, many will relapse before they can successfully “get clean,” making detoxing alone unsafe and often unsuccessful.
What Are The Benefits Of Dual Diagnosis Disorders?
With facilities like Reign RTC, treatment for dual diagnosis disorders is more likely to help you sustain your long-term recovery and sobriety. By only treating one aspect of your overall well-being instead of your mental and physical health, you leave yourself more susceptible to relapse.
What Are The Benefits Of Dual Diagnosis Disorders?
With a South Florida dual diagnosis program, you have the option of medication management. Medication management means you have a staff of qualified medical professionals helping you to determine which medication is the best fit for your mental health struggles.
People who have already been diagnosed with a mental health condition like ADHD or depression might have tried medication from their doctor but with minimal results. So, they turned to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate.
People who struggle without a diagnosis might have only used drugs and alcohol to manage the symptoms.
In either case, dual diagnosis in South Florida means you can try different medications, other than the ones you have had little luck with in the past, or try a new medication to help you manage your symptoms in addition to the coping strategies and skills learned during individual and group therapy.
Medication Management
Another key benefit of dual diagnosis treatment in South Florida is receiving customized therapy. If you only treat your mental health problem, your therapy might focus on managing the physical symptoms. Conversely, if you get therapy for a mental health disorder at the same time, you can learn how to effectively manage cravings and deal with stressful situations or triggers in your environment that might exacerbate cravings.
