The Need For Treatment

How We Diagnose Mental Health Disorders

Upon arrival, you’ll undergo a complete psychological assessment. Once we have a strong picture of your mental health, we can design a treatment protocol we’ll follow during your stay. You’ll have one-on-one sessions with a licensed psychiatrist throughout your stay to better understand your addiction’s root cause. If a mental health disorder influences substance abuse, we’ll apply the proper psychotherapeutic treatment. Some of the common mental health disorders we encounter are:

The Mental Health & Substance Abuse Connection

Mental health conditions push people into substance abuse, just as substance abuse can create mental health conditions. The overuse of drugs and alcohol can negatively alter the brain’s chemical balance, which further worsens your mental health and launches you into a loop of self-destructive behavior.

Recognizing the connection between mental health and substance abuse is essential to provide effective and comprehensive treatment.

Integrated treatment approaches that address both conditions simultaneously are most successful. This can include therapy, counseling, support groups, medication management, and lifestyle changes to promote overall well-being and prevent relapse. The connection between mental health and substance abuse is complex and multifaceted. Individuals with mental health disorders are more susceptible to substance abuse and vice versa. Several factors contribute to this interrelationship:

mental health disorders may use substances to self-medicate, attempting to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues. Substances like drugs or alcohol can temporarily provide relief, leading to a cycle of dependence.
Genetic factors can contribute to both mental health disorders and substance abuse. Certain genes may increase the likelihood of developing both conditions, making some individuals more vulnerable.
Mental health disorders and substance abuse can both affect the brain’s neurotransmitter systems. Substance abuse can disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters, worsening mental health symptoms. Similarly, imbalances in neurotransmitters can predispose individuals to substance abuse.
Environmental stressors, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences can contribute to developing mental health disorders and substance abuse. A difficult environment can increase the likelihood of resorting to substances as a coping mechanism.
Certain personality traits, such as impulsivity or sensation-seeking behavior, can predispose individuals to both mental health disorders and substance abuse.
Individuals with mental health disorders may experience social isolation or difficulty forming relationships. Substance abuse can offer an escape or a means to socialize, albeit temporarily, leading to a cycle of dependence.
Both mental health disorders and substance abuse can impair decision-making abilities. This can lead to risky behaviors, including continued substance use despite awareness of its negative consequences.

What We Offer

Our Dual Diagnosis Detox Program

All substances of abuse can be addictive, but alcohol presents a unique challenge. Excessive alcohol abuse disrupts the brain’s delicate chemical balance, leading to a dangerous dependency that can be especially difficult to break. Depending on the nature and the level of alcohol abuse, the withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe and life-threatening. As an alcohol detox Los Angeles treatment center, we take great measures to ensure that your withdrawal symptoms are properly managed.

 

Dual diagnosis detox treatment refers to a specialized form of detoxification process designed for individuals who are dealing with both substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. This integrated approach acknowledges the complex relationship between substance abuse and mental health issues and addresses both aspects simultaneously during the detoxification phase of addiction treatment.

Traditional detox programs focus primarily on helping individuals safely withdraw from substances, managing withdrawal symptoms, and preparing them for further addiction treatment. However, for individuals with dual diagnosis, detoxification needs to be more comprehensive. Dual diagnosis detox treatment takes into account the specific challenges faced by individuals dealing with both addiction and mental health disorders.

Our dual diagnosis detox programs integrate mental health care into the detoxification process. This means that individuals receive specialized care to manage withdrawal symptoms from substances while also addressing their mental health symptoms. Both aspects are treated concurrently to ensure a holistic approach to recovery.

 

Dual diagnosis detox treatment involves medical supervision to ensure the safe withdrawal from substances. Additionally, individuals receive therapeutic support from mental health professionals who are experienced in treating co-occurring disorders. This can include individual counseling, group therapy, and other evidence-based therapeutic modalities.

Individuals with dual diagnosis may require medication to manage their mental health symptoms during the detox process. Healthcare providers carefully assess the need for psychiatric medications and monitor their effects to ensure the individual’s well-being.

 

Our dual diagnosis detox treatment aims to set the foundation for a successful recovery journey by addressing both substance abuse and mental health issues from the outset. It provides individuals with the necessary tools and support to navigate the challenges of early recovery while managing their co-occurring disorders effectively.

What Our Clients Say About Us

From the techs who became some of my best friends there to the therapist and each group facilitator. The quality was top notch. The chef took such good care of us and everything was delicious. The house and private rooms were really comfortable and peaceful. Everyone really cared and wanted each client to succeed. Thank you to everyone there and for helping me get my life back.
Rick T.
I never realized they had treatment centers, like this. Food is a ten, house is a ten, and the recovery is a ten. . The house is a mansion, no chores, cooking, cleaning or anything, just focus on recovery. The house is nothing compared to the staff, that run it. The most compassionate people, who understand this disease better than anyone I've been around.
Timothy G.
The best rehab facility I’ve ever went to my entire life the staff was absolutely incredible. And the facility is so beautiful it’s so relaxing and the food is so exquisite. The owners of the facility truly care about each client individually and are some of the best people I’ve ever met. Thank you for everything y’all did for me.
Salvador C.
While in detox, I had the most attentive care from the nurses and staff which meant the world to me. This was my first (and hopefully last) rehab experience and I don't think I could've asked for anything better. They have private chefs, excellent group sessions, top of the line doctors, therapists, and social workers. Yes, this is a place to get off of substances, but it's so much more... You can actually fix yourself here.
Dashe H.
From the walking into the doors to my final days in the facility, all of my needs were not only met but exceeded. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and caring. Most of which are in long term recovery, which is comforting as well. From therapy to extracurricular activities, I was always engaged and learning more about how to get my life back on track. Meals curated by the chef were above anything I could’ve expected. And the estate itself is breathtaking.
Napalm
Great staff really make a difference. I've gone through other treatment centers before this one feels like home people really care and have your back even after you leave. Location is beautiful amenities are great and some of the best facilitators I've ever worked with . management and owners are fantastic and personable and will bend over backwards to make sure you have the best recovery possible
