At Peachtree Detox, we understand that overcoming substance use disorders (SUD) often requires more than just addressing the physical aspects of addiction.
Many individuals struggling with addiction also face mental health disorders, known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Our comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment in Georgia offered in conjunction with our detox services in Atlanta offers a holistic approach to recovery.
By addressing both the mental health disorder and the substance use disorder simultaneously, we provide our clients with the best chance for long-term success and a healthier future.
Peachtree Detox is a premier provider of addiction treatment services and detox programs in Atlanta, Georgia. If you or someone you love is in need of professional care, reach out to us now.
Recognizing the need for dual diagnosis treatment can be challenging, as symptoms of mental health disorders and substance use disorders often overlap. Here are some key indicators for each type of symptoms:
If you experience persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness that interfere with your daily life, it may indicate the presence of a mental health disorder. Other symptoms include significant changes in appetite or sleep patterns, difficulty concentrating, extreme mood swings, and withdrawal from social activities.
Signs of a substance use disorder include an inability to control your use of drugs or alcohol, developing a tolerance, experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using, and continuing to use despite negative consequences. Other indicators are neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home, and engaging in risky behaviors while under the influence.
Dual diagnosis can involve a variety of mental health and substance use disorders. Common co-occurring mental health disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and personality disorders. Substance use disorders may involve alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs.
At Peachtree Detox, we provide a range of dual diagnosis program options to meet each client where their at. If you’re not sure what level of care you’re an appropriate fit for, we can help provide a recommendation based on an over-the-phone clinical assessment. The levels of care we offer include:
Our detox programs provides a medically supervised environment where clients can safely withdraw from substances. We offer 24/7 medical support to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure comfort and safety throughout the process. This crucial first step lays the foundation for successful long-term treatment.
Following detox, our inpatient rehab offers a structured and supportive environment where clients can focus on their recovery. Our comprehensive approach includes individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and holistic therapies. We tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of our clients, addressing both the mental health and substance use disorders.
Recovery is a lifelong journey, and our aftercare program ensures ongoing support as clients transition back into their daily lives. We provide resources and strategies to help maintain sobriety and manage mental health. This includes referrals to outpatient programs that include Partial Hospitalization Programs or Intensive Outpatient Programming.
At Peachtree Detox, we employ a multifaceted approach to treat dual diagnosis disorders:
Dual diagnosis disorders are more common than many realize. Approximately 9.2 million adults in the United States have co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. These individuals often face unique challenges in their recovery journey, making comprehensive treatment essential.
Success rates for dual diagnosis treatment can vary, but studies show that those who took part in dual diagnosis treatment compared to solely substance use disorder treatment approaches significantly improve outcomes. In addition, clients who receive comprehensive care that addresses both mental health and substance use disorders are more likely to achieve long-term sobriety and better mental health compared to those who only receive treatment for one disorder.
