Whether you struggle with alcoholism or drug addiction, you are fighting a disease that occurs on a three-part level. Addiction is an obsession of the mind, an allergy of the body and a spiritual malady. Addiction has to the power to rob you of relationships, family, career, health and sanity. Most people have to experience loss in some form or another from addiction before seeking help.

Professional Help in Overcoming Addiction

Seeking specialized alcohol or drug treatment is the best options for overcoming addiction. SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, offers specialized programs for alcohol, prescription drug addiction, club drugs, cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin and other street drugs that all have the potential to rob you of a healthy, happy and productive life.

Addressing addiction is best achieved on an individual basis. No two people struggling with addiction have the same history, family dynamics, genetics or emotional issues contributing to their need for alcohol or drugs. Drinking or drug usage is but a symptom of underlying issues that cause a person to reach for relief. When this becomes a habit over time, addiction follows. Releasing the body from physical addiction through detox is only the first step to overcoming addiction.

SouthCoast Recovery offers state-licensed detox and individualized attention for residential alcohol and drug addiction treatment for 30, 60, 90 days and 6 months. The sooner you address the problem of addiction, the faster recovery can begin for you or your loved one. Addiction is not a problem that goes away on its own. It requires professional care in a safe environment over a period of time to address all the levels that addiction works on. At a certain point, an individual loses the ability to control the amount of alcohol or drugs taken. This is when addiction takes on a life of its own.

Over 15,000 deaths annually associated with stimulants in the US.

Each day 5,000 more people will experiment with cocaine. Cocaine addiction was responsible for 14 % of the 1.6 million admissions in 1999 to publicly funded drug addiction facilities. In 1988, about 300,000 infants were born addicted to cocaine.

SouthCoast Recovery is a leading drug rehab center in south Orange County located near some of the best beaches in southern California. They offer individualized treatment programs in alcohol, cocaine, heroin, opiates and methamphetamine addiction. Specialized tracks include gender specific, Christian track and LGBT-friendly.

SouthCoast Recovery was founded by CEO Dennis Larkin in 1994. Like many note-worthy companies, the initial office was run out of the garage of a residential house. Now in its 14th year, this thriving drug treatment facility has seven homes in the upscale beach community of Dana Point, California. “The incredible environment and support of the local recovery community in south Orange County is unparalleled,” says Larkin. The ease of locating quality sponsorship and employment during the residential program encourages many clients to relocate to the area. South Orange County is fast becoming known as a mecca for recovery.

Clients entering drug and alcohol treatment at SouthCoast Recovery are assigned to one of the residential homes, either co-ed or gender-specific, depending upon their personal treatment program. SouthCoast Recovery offers 30, 60 and 90-day residential treatment as well as 6-month transitional programs at their California rehab center.

Dual diagnosis is a very complicated phenomenon that can be very difficult to identify and treat. For instance, take the example of schizophrenia and a cocaine addiction treatment. The patient may admit that they have schizophrenia, but deny the cocaine addiction, or vice versa. The schizophrenia could have been triggered by the ongoing drug abuse, or the drug abuse could have stemmed from the frustration of dealing with schizophrenia. Alternatively, the two may not be related at all.

The effects of a person’s drug abuse and the symptoms of a psychological or emotional disorder can be very similar. It can be very difficult to determine at any given time whether the addiction or the other disorder is “acting up” at that moment and causing the depression, anxiety, aggression, etc. Thus, dual diagnosis can be extremely difficult to diagnose accurately, let alone treat. It is an unpredictable, constantly fluctuating battle.

The two parts of a dual diagnosis can be just different enough to aggravate each other, yet cause such similar reactions that it can be nearly impossible to differentiate between the two. Treatment of dual diagnosis requires a highly trained professional, and this person must be able to prescribe the appropriate medications for each disorder. The medications must be able to be taken simultaneously without negative reactions.

Dual diagnosis can affect a person mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is an exhausting battle and professional intervention will certainly help. However, there is the distinct possibility that the two parts of a dual diagnosis are not related. In other words, one half of the dual diagnosis was not a contributing factor to the existence of the other part. Because this might be the case, each half of the dual diagnosis should be treated individually and separately. Although both treatments will occur at the same time, professionals should not assume the two disorders are interrelated. A good drug rehab facility will have staff on hand experienced in dealing with the difficult phenomenon known as dual diagnosis.

If a person denies the existence of one half of their dual diagnosis, it can be detrimental to overall recovery. For example, a patient can be in the process of recovering from their drug addiction while a psychological disorder is growing worse. A worsening psychological disorder may cause them to lose heart and confidence, turning once again to drugs and losing ground on their battle to overcome that addiction. Some of the most common afflictions recovering drug addicts face are depression, anxiety and panic attacks. It is important that co-occuring disorders be diagnosed as soon as possible in the drug rehab process, and then treated separately yet simultaneously.
