Many drug addiction treatment centers focus on only the addiction itself. At 12 Palms Recovery Center, treatment plans include dealing with emotional and mental disorders that accompany the actual addiction as well.
According to reports published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), approximately 50 percent of patients addicted to drugs also suffer from some form of emotional or mental disorder. While a rehab in Vermont can help to treat the addiction, oftentimes they are not equipped to also treat the emotional or mental disorder. Focusing on the addiction does not mean that the mental disorder goes away.
At 12 Palms Recovery Center in Jensen Beach, Florida, dual diagnosis patients can and do receive treatment for both their addiction and their emotional or mental disorder. Therapists at 12 Palms Recovery Center are recovering addicts themselves who are also qualified to deal with patients suffering from both addiction and mental disorders. By separating drug and alcohol abuse from emotional and mental issues such as bi-polar disorder, depression, anxiety or PTSD, the qualified therapists and counselors can then determine the underlying factors apart from the addiction itself.
A rehab in Vermont can certainly diagnosis a patient with emotional or mental disorders, but oftentimes outpatient treatment for that disorder will be required. At 12 Palms Recovery Center, any patient with a dual diagnosis can work on their emotional or mental health issues along with their addiction in house—through one on one counseling, group therapy sessions and other time-tested methods of treatment and possibly medication, each patient suffering from dual diagnosis gets their own unique treatment plan developed specifically for their needs.
Many years ago, it was commonplace to lock up an alcoholic or addict in a sanitarium, only to leave them there to live out the rest of their lives in relative obscurity. Alcoholism and addiction back then was considered to be a problem of the mind, much like mental disorders. However now, addiction is treated with a time-tested plan of action, and emotional or mental disorders are diagnosed separately and treated along with the addiction. A rehab in Vermont can treat the addiction, but at 12 Palms Recovery Center, not only are both the addiction and separate disorders treated, each patient who has a dual diagnosis is given a specific plan of action to follow to continue treating both.
12 Palms Recovery Center is designed to be an all-inclusive treatment center, where each patient with a dual diagnosis receives a specific treatment plan that treats their specific needs. By working with qualified counselors and therapists, patients can finally be understood and supported with a specific plan of recovery.
Drug addiction treatment programs oftentimes focuses on just the addiction. At 12 Palms Recovery Center, an all-inclusive treatment plan that also treats emotional and mental disorders is available for dual diagnosis patients. For more information on the services offered by 12 Palms Recovery Center, please call 1(866) 331-6779.
