When it comes to addiction, the drugs are not the only thing effecting the lives of addicts...
For many individuals that become addicted to drugs and alcohol, the addiction had already been primed in the body and mind, long-before drugs were ever introduced to the substances at the core of their abuse.
Mental factors such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are usually already in-place in an individual, before they begin using drugs and alcohol. Once the drugs and alcohol are entered into the mix, the mental disorders begin to take-hold, and both the addiction and the mental disorder work together to drive the individual further down a dark path.
Dual diagnosis addiction treatment centers are designed to handle both the mental disorders and the addiction through a program that treats both disorders at the same time. For those suffering from both an addiction and mental disorders, the only true successful treatment is a dual diagnosis treatment program or a program that involves addiction treatment for co-occurring disorders.
The Dunes in East Hampton -- on Long Island, New York -- is a private facility that treats dual diagnosis disorders in a addiction treatment center environment. Visit The Dunes Online at:
