California Dual Diagnosis Treatment Becoming More Standardized
California dual diagnosis treatment centers will soon have another tool to improve treatment. Men and women who come to treatment for addiction and are experiencing a mood disorder like depression, anxiety, or PTSD will benefit.
The Dual Diagnosis Capability in Addiction Treatment instrument is an index that will be used to analyze the capability of drug and alcohol treatment centers to effectively treat dual diagnosed addiction clients. This survey will critically analyze the processes and policies of a treatment facility to rate their performance in combining the treatment of addiction with a dual diagnosis such as:
- an anxiety disorder (ie. post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD)
- depression
- bipolar disorder
- attention defecit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Being that Sober Living by the Sea has been treating alcohoism, drug addiction, and eating disorders since 1986 here in Orange County California, it follows that we have continually contributed to and followed the best practices for combining the treatment of a chemical dependency with a mood or behavioral disorder.
