People with a drug or alcohol dependency, mental illness, or other co-occurring issues may require a dual diagnosis to heal fully. At Legacy Healing’s Philadelphia dual diagnosis treatment center, we will address the contributing factors associated with your addiction. We will help you deal with your addiction’s overall impact on your mental health in our dual diagnosis program. With our customized programs, we will work with you and meet your specific needs, helping you heal from the inside out.
Legacy Healing is a top-tier behavioral health provider specializing in comprehensive addiction treatment. We use individualized treatments that are customized to each of our patients, and our goal is to address the root of addiction while you recover and get back on track.
At Legacy Healing’s Philadelphia dual diagnosis treatment center, we offer a holistic, dual diagnosis program to get to the root of both the mental illnesses and the addiction at the same time. These issues are usually intertwined, so treating them together will end the cycle and lead to a more effective long-term solution.
Dual diagnosis is a type of treatment plan that combines help for addiction with medical and psychological support for other co-occurring conditions. Some of the common co-occurring conditions that are found alongside addiction include:
Some people have a genetic predisposition to addiction and mental illnesses, and some people have a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes these issues. Dual diagnosis is essential because some drugs can worsen mental health issues, and people who have mental health issues may use drugs to mask their psychological symptoms. Dual diagnosis can break this cycle by taking care of both problems at the same time.
Holistic Addiction Treatment Programs
A holistic addiction treatment program is the best way to approach any addiction but is especially important when dealing with dual diagnosis. At Legacy Healing, our programs not only help you detox and rehabilitate from the physical aspects of addiction, but we also integrate therapy, counseling, and life skills training into your program. This process allows you to find the root of the issues, get ahold of your mental health, and help you become the person you want to be.
Through nutrition training and physical activity, we will help you strengthen your body, and if spirituality is important to you, we will help you reconnect with a higher power. With dual diagnosis, medication may be prescribed to tackle mental illness and drug addiction. It will be given under clinical care at safe, prescription doses and will not create a new obsession.
