What does dual diagnosis mean?

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Whether a psychiatrist sits on the team, and how often you would see one, separates programs here. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.

Should family be part of this?

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Is medication assisted treatment effective?

It is a prescription that steadies the ground while the rest of the treatment happens. The objection that it swaps one drug for another misses the mechanism: a stable prescribed dose does not produce a high and does not escalate. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.
