Healing the Core of Addiction Holistic Dual Diagnosis Treatment at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab

Understanding Dual Diagnosis and Its Role in Addiction Treatment and Recovery

Dual diagnosis is when substance use disorder (SUD) occurs simultaneously with a mental health disorder. This can also be called co-occurring disorders. Co-occurring disorders are common in people who struggle with addiction. Some of the most common mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction include:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Panic disorder
• Major depressive disorder
• Bipolar disorder
• Achizophrenia
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

The Impact of Co-Occurring Disorders on Recovery

In dual diagnosis cases, treatment often requires a unique approach. If you only treat the addiction, the mental illness may go untreated. That can lead to an increased risk of relapse and overall worse wellness outcomes. Both conditions need to be treated simultaneously to get to the root of the issues.

An effective approach to treating co-occurring disorders begins with understanding the interconnected nature of mental health and substance use. Many people with mental illness use substances to cope with distressing symptoms, like anxiety and sadness. Unfortunately, this is a temporary solution at best, and using drugs or alcohol can actually make mental illness worse over time. In other cases, someone may start using substances and develop a mental health condition as a result. Both are examples of co-occurring disorders, and both show how mental health and addiction go hand-in-hand.

Why Choose Dual Diagnosis Treatment at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab

Hawaii’s Healing Environment

There are a lot of dual diagnosis treatment programs out there, but few of them have the advantage of Hawaii’s natural healing environment. The serenity and tranquility you feel when surrounded by a lush natural landscape promotes self-reflection, mindfulness, and connection with others. The pristine beaches and lush forests of the island are ideal for focusing on mental and physical wellness. That’s why we incorporate nature into so many of our therapies and activities, giving you the opportunity to connect with the natural world around you.

When you’re dealing with addiction, negative emotions can rule your life: anger, anxiety, stress, shame, or grief. We believe that part of recovery is overcoming those negative emotions and taking control back. That’s why we strive to provide a luxury healing environment that puts you at ease from the moment you arrive. When you feel safe and comfortable, you’ll be able to focus fully on your recovery journey.

Features of Luxury Treatment for Substance Abuse

To promote your comfort and wellness while you’re with us, we provide many luxury amenities for clients in treatment. Our residential living quarters feature premier finishes and top-of-the-line appliances. With views of the ocean right out your window, you’ll feel like you’re at a resort instead of rehab. Because of our proximity to the island’s natural wonders, you’ll have the opportunity to surf, ride horses, and hike in the lush landscape while in treatment.

When it comes to meals, your food will be prepared by our talented culinary team, who creates delicious and nutrient-dense meals for all of our clients. We believe that food is fuel, especially for bodies that are healing from the effects of addiction. An improved diet, paired with healthy movement, will put you on the path to sustained recovery.

Steps to Enroll in a Dual Diagnosis Treatment Program

The first step to enrolling in our dual diagnosis treatment program is to connect with a staff member at Exclusive Hawaii Rehab. You can give us a call, and an admission counselor will walk you through the next steps and answer any questions you have. After your initial phone call, you’ll meet with our team to start the assessment phase, where you’ll be evaluated to determine goals for treatment. From there, we’ll help you create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.

Preparing Mentally and Physically for Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment can be psychologically and physically challenging. For many, the first step of treatment is detox, which can be an uncomfortable and difficult process. It is, however, necessary to begin the healing process. Know that our staff is highly trained and will do whatever they can to make sure your detox is safe and as comfortable as possible.

Next, you’ll begin the mental and emotional work of therapy. This step can be challenging in a whole different way, but the work you do in therapy will equip you for a life of wellness and stability. Having a strong support system to be in your corner during and after treatment is essential. We encourage familial involvement in the treatment process so that you can build strong relationships with your loved ones and lean on them throughout your journey.
