Drug and alcohol addiction does not occur in a vacuum or develop solely on its own. In many instances, substance abuse is itself a symptom of a deeper unresolved psychological issue that has compounded over time. It is estimated that 45 percent of Americans have a dual diagnosis.
There are over 4,000 dual-diagnosis programs in the California.
But there’s only one West Valley Detox.
What is a Dual Diagnosis?
When a person has a dual diagnosis, it means the individual has multiple mental health and behavioral health conditions. The most common mental health disorders associated with substance abuse include the following:
- Depression
- Anxiety Disorders
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar Disorder
- Eating Disorders
A dual diagnosis does not exclusively apply to those with a substance abuse issue. Dual diagnosis can also occur in those people who have “process” addictions, such as gambling addiction, food addiction, or sex addiction.
In any case, we can help those who are living with co-occurring disorders. Whether a person is suffering from addiction and anxiety, depression, OCD, or any other mental health issues, we are here to help.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TREATMENT FOR
Co-Occurring Disorders
A dual-diagnosis treatment program offers treatment for substance use disorders and mental health symptoms. It is incredibly important for people with dual diagnoses to seek treatment services that address their specific needs.
Substance use disorder treatment will only address addiction. Mental health disorder treatment services will only deal with mental health disorders. But, when a person gets dual diagnosis treatment, they can receive help for their co-occurring disorders.
Mental health issues can affect substance abuse problems. They can intensify addiction and cause people to turn to substance abuse more often to cope with the symptoms of mental health challenges. Vice versa, people who suffer from addiction may develop mental health conditions as a result of their substance abuse. Or, a preexisting mental health disorder may become more severe as a result of substance misuse.
Dual diagnosis programs are successful in treating co-occurring disorders simultaneously. This can provide people with the tools they need to overcome addiction and manage the symptoms of their mental health disorders. It can also help with relapse prevention.

OUR DUAL DIAGNOSIS
Program in Los Angeles, CA
When you or a loved one enter a dual diagnosis treatment center in Los Angeles, you will enter a state-of-the-art facility with excellent amenities and décor and an atmosphere that is relaxing and home-like. The best California dual diagnosis centers have proper state and national accreditation and have experienced clinicians and addiction treatment staff. As stated earlier, dual diagnosis treatment programs use an integrated approach to treat the underlying issues of your substance abuse as well as any mental health issues.
Dual diagnosis treatment is split into four distinct phases, which are as follows:
Detoxification
Also known as “detox”, detoxification is typically the first step in the alcohol and drug addiction treatment process. It clears the body of toxins from drugs and alcohol. While ending alcohol and drug abuse, people usually encounter extremely uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. In some cases, the symptoms of withdrawal from a severe substance use disorder can even be life-threatening. Our medical detox program allows people to safely work through the withdrawal process with the help of medical care professionals.Assessment
The second phase of dual diagnosis treatment may involve an assessment. Once you are stable, mental health professionals and addiction treatment specialists will perform a thorough evaluation. This evaluation will assess your overall well-being, including your emotional, physical, social, and psychological health. Once completed, treatment staff will create an individualized treatment plan that will fit your unique and specific needs.Residential Treatment
Also referred to as “inpatient treatment”, residential treatment is often a part of rehabilitation. Those who are working to recover from co-occurring disorders can receive around-the-clock care in a residential program. Inpatient rehab allows individuals to live at a dual-diagnosis rehab facility for the duration of their treatment program.Therapy
While in treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental disorders, individuals can get the support they need. Various therapies and types of counseling are available to assist people in recovering from addiction and managing the symptoms of mental illness.Dialectical behavior therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, recreational therapy, group therapy, and individual counseling can all prove to be helpful. Also, family therapy, which involves the family members of recovering individuals, can help treat dual-diagnosis patients.
Therapy can help with life skills development and introduce positive coping skills to those in recovery.
Aftercare
An especially important component of dual diagnosis residential treatment in Los Angeles is aftercare programs. Because you are recovering from substance abuse and mental health issues, you must receive counseling and support after you complete a formal inpatient treatment program. Aftercare may include continued therapy and 12-step group support in an intensive outpatient treatment program. This also will include continued mental health counseling, life skills training, and access to community resources. Aftercare options may include moving into transitional housing such as sober living or other mental health residential treatment.
