 A
growing percentage of persons currently entering
Alcohol/Chemical Dependence treatment facilities, are diagnosed
with dual disorders. This challenges the client
and the treatment facility to develop a plan in
which all issues are addressed in the treatment
experience. Here at Oasis we are a part of
that solution.
Whether anxiety,
depression, Bi Polar disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive
disorder or other condition, we at Oasis believe
that a total approach toward each individual provides
the best opportunity for physical, emotional and
spiritual recovery. Addressing only part of a
problem means that a client leaves treatment with
undressed issues, and relapse is more likely.
For example, a person who completes 30 days and
leaves treatment as a sober alcoholic but does
not accept and address his depression is at high
risk for relapse.
There are three parts to dealing
with clinical mood disorders, all equally important
to fully address the issue.
- Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis followed
by regular monitoring of medication with the
goal of getting the client chemically balanced.
- Individual and group therapies addressing specific addictions and co-occurring conditions.
