Along the
streets of San Francisco and a few towns I have come across during my holiday,
I notice that there are many banners and signs promoting rehabitation centers
for dual diagnosis programs. Initially I
did not really understand what they were but after checking it out in the
Internet on this website, I realize that these centers offer treatment to
clients who are “addicted” to some kind of alcoholism. One of the websites I read is Morningside
Recovery. According to their website, it
is written that they offer individual treatment plans customized for their
clients according to their specific requirements, that is based on the type of
substance abuse and regardless of the severity of the co-occurring
disorder. This is to ensure that the
client’s problems will be identified and treated simultaneously. It is written here that at Morningside,
clients will receive regular and constant intensive psychotherapy to develop
skills so that they can manage and handle their dual disorder symptoms. It is important that the clients learn how to
“apply” these real-life situations by accessing their own disease and
recognizing the symptoms they are suffering from. With professional expertise from trained
staff and determination from the clients, they will be able to lead normal
lives again.
