A Compassionate and Caring Approach to Mental Health
Dual Diagnosis Treatment in San Diego
La Jolla Recovery’s dual diagnosis treatment programs in San Diego address both addiction and mental health disorders, helping individuals reduce relapse, achieve longer and sustained sobriety, and improve their overall quality of life.
La Jolla Recovery’s dual diagnosis treatment programs in San Diego acknowledge the frequent correlation between drug and alcohol use disorder and mental health disorders. By providing comprehensive dual treatment for addiction and mental health issues, patients significantly reduce their chances of relapse, maintain sobriety for extended periods, and enhance their overall quality of life. The rehabilitation center addresses a diverse range of mental health challenges using evidence-based techniques and compassionate care, ensuring that patients receive the necessary support to progress in their recovery journey.
Furthermore, La Jolla Recovery’s dual diagnosis treatment center emphasizes the importance of long-term therapy and aftercare options to prevent relapses and foster the rebuilding of healthy relationships. Through personalized treatment plans, patients can benefit from medication-assisted treatment, such as buprenorphine, experiential therapies, support groups, and relapse prevention tools. These resources empower patients to make lasting personal changes, enabling them to maintain sobriety and cultivate healthier connections.
Dual diagnosis treatment empowers individuals to take control of their lives, develop positive behaviors that promote enduring mental well-being and sobriety, and ultimately achieve a fulfilling and balanced life.
Dual diagnosis is characterized by the combination of drug dependence or substance addiction along with a mental disorder.
The order of these two dual-diagnosis disorders in the same person may vary. One can first develop the problem of drug or alcohol addiction followed by depression, or vice versa. At La Jolla Recovery dual diagnosis rehab, we provide evidence-based tools and therapies to support quality of life by embracing a tailored and humanistic approach that is motivated, inspiring, and tailored to the needs of our clients.
Some of these unique client needs can be cultural or physiological, such as LGBT and the necessity of bringing along a pet to understand the background of mental health, such as PTSD or panic disorder, to accommodate the treatment in a social setting and physical space.
Dual Diagnosis Symptoms
Symptoms that people suffering from this dual diagnosis disorder may present are:
- An increase in relapses and hospitalizations
- A person tends to become aggressive towards themselves or other people
- Increased likelihood of committing legal or social problems or incidents
- Sudden mood swings
- unemployment
- psychotic symptoms
- violent behaviors
- increased vulnerability
- loss of social life
- nausea
- impulsiveness
We approach dual diagnosis symptoms, not only from a mental perspective, but with a compassionate and caring embrace that is human at heart.
It is key to understand dual diagnosis so that it is easy to attend, treat, and manage. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that half of those with drug dependence are likely to fall into a mental illness. Similarly, there is a 50% chance that someone with a mental disorder can fall into an addiction to toxic substances.
Our treatment approach to dual diagnosis at La Jolla Recovery is personalized and includes dedicated social reintegration and a focus on the individual. Mental health attention includes monitoring and following up with the dual-diagnosis patient in a tailored and compassionate manner. Also, dual diagnosis treatment is drug and alcohol-dependent (schizophrenia with marijuana addiction is not the same as depression with cocaine addiction).
Our experience at La Jolla Recovery with mental health professionals and medication-assisted treatment makes it possible to reduce physiological stressors and create a long-term plan for success. We are looking to attend mental health disorders co-occurring with addiction, such as anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and other mental illnesses. Let us be a haven for the beginning of a sustainable life with evidence-based tools.
We understand mental health and addiction treatment as a separate but integral part of recovery
