Posted by Admin, 2011
Dual diagnosis, the term is used to describe the comorbid condition of a person considered to be suffering from a mental illness and a substance abuse problem. In this kind of process the doctors must discriminate between acute primary psychiatric disorders and psychiatric symptoms caused by Alcohol and Other Drugs. There are several possible relationships between AOD use and psychiatric symptoms and disorders. AODs may induce, worsen, or diminish psychiatric symptoms, complicating the diagnostic process.
By that kind of diagnosis doctors can get to the roots or the psychological state of an addict in which he or she started to take drugs and after knowing the basic reason they diagnose the patient both physically and psychologically so that they can remove the effects of drugs from his mind and body. In this way the patient get the full treatment from the doctors. Drug rehabilitation is a process of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and so-called street drugs such as cocaine, heroin or . It’s an effort to help a person to gain his or her normal life whatever the choice of drugs a man have but a rehab try desperately to help him to live without them.
There are numerous health homes and hospitals around the world in which an addict can get the treatment. These rehab centers help people many ways they not only try to help the addict but also his family; there are different kinds of treatment out there, such as 12 step treatment and non 12 step treatment. In a 12 step treatment experts try to help addicts to quit drugs and alcohol by psychoanalytic counseling and by some medicines like methadone and all. But a non 12 step treatment is pretty different as in it, a patient has to stay for 30-40-90 days in the rehab center and after getting totally cured by counseling, psychoanalysis, medicines they come back to the normal flow of life. During this kind of treatments addicts realize that the poison took many precious things from them and ultimately will lead them to death.
