Treating the Root Causes of Addiction & Co-Occurring Disorders

At Ritual Recovery, we understand that the journey to recovery is unique for every individual, especially when facing the complexities of dual diagnosis. If you or a loved one is grappling with substance abuse and a mental health disorder, our specialized dual diagnosis rehab in North Carolina are designed to provide comprehensive and compassionate care. Situated amidst the serene Blue Ridge mountains in Asheville, our outpatient drug rehab center offers a peaceful environment conducive to healing.

What is Dual-Diagnosis?

When a person has a mental health disorder in addition to a substance use disorder, this is referred to as dual diagnosis. Treatment for both substance use and mental health disorders may become more complicated with a dual diagnosis. These circumstances frequently interact in intricate ways, with each influencing the other.

Those with co-occurring mental health disorders and substance abuse issues must receive integrated treatment. A comprehensive strategy incorporating counseling, therapy, medication management, and support services is necessary for effective treatment. Integrated treatment aims to treat the individual while acknowledging the connection between substance abuse and mental health problems.

People who have dual diagnosis need to be treated by specialists who have experience treating co-occurring disorders. Programs for integrated treatment, such as those provided by Ritual Recovery, are made to help people manage their mental health issues and substance use in a way that promotes long-term recovery. They are intended to offer thorough and customized support.
