The term "dual diagnosis" refers to a situation where someone has received diagnoses for both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder at the same time. When mental health problems get worse, people often start using substances like drugs or alcohol more heavily.
Addiction is a complex problem that affects every aspect of a person's life, from their physical and mental health to their relationships and sense of purpose. It's more about the person's relationship with the substance than the substance itself.
At Southeastern Recovery Center, our Intensive Outpatient Program, or IOP, allows clients to receive structured treatment for substance abuse while living at home, attending school, maintaining work & family responsibilities, and going about their daily lives.
At Southeastern Recovery Center, we have seamlessly incorporated MAT into our broad-spectrum approach to helping people regain control of their lives. This inclusion of MAT is not merely a trend, but a concrete strategy underpinned by evidence-based medical research and practices.
The first step on the road to recovery for substances such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids involves detox, a process that clears the body of toxins. Southeastern Recovery Center works with local detox centers to make sure each client detoxes in a safe & supportive environment.
