What is the treatment for patients who have both addiction and mental health issues?

At The Center for Integrative Health, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment and recovery of patients with mental health and addictive disorders.  To this end, we offer a Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program which specializes in treating patients suffering from a wide range of psychiatric disorders which are complicated by substance abuse.  Combining effective psychiatric treatment and medication under the direction of psychiatrists and addiction medicine specialists with therapies aimed at altering and changing behavior and stressing relapse prevention techniques, diet, and the mind/body connection, this program's goal is the development of sustained recovery.  We also recognize that recovery is a "family affair" and a program of education for the family is included to help heal the interpersonal conflicts which often are the result from addiction.
