Co-Occuring Disorder Rehab

Substance abuse is often accompanied by a psychological disorder severe enough to require healing protocols that address both addiction and mental illness. Those who suffer from co-occurring disorders have a much better chance of recovery when they are treated by a team of professionals who specialize in psychological disorders as well as substance abuse help. The AIR Rehab facilities we recommend provide care and understanding for patients who may need housing assistance, job counseling, family counseling and relationship management. And they will need to recover at a slower pace that considers both conditions simultaneously.

Federal and state governments recognize the importance of dual diagnoses and outpatient rehab treatment, and California now has a Dual Diagnosis Court. This growing awareness underlies the increasing importance of dual diagnosis because, if left untreated, the co-occurring conditions may lead to violence, suicide and homelessness.
