What is Dual Diagnosis & Co-Occurring Disorder

Dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders are terms used to describe when a person is struggling with both mental health issues and substance abuse. This type of situation can be difficult to identify and diagnose but is an increasingly common problem that can have serious effects on an individual’s life. The combination of mental health struggles and substance abuse can lead to increased levels of stress, financial hardship, relationship problems, physical illness, lack of motivation and self-medication.

Individuals who suffer from dual diagnosis may also experience difficulties with social interaction, making it difficult for them to form meaningful relationships and even get the help they need. As such, it’s important for people who know someone suffering from this condition to provide the necessary support, understanding and access to resources like therapy or support groups that will make all the difference in their recovery journey.

Valiant Living Men’s Professional Program is a unique program designed to help men with dual diagnosis recover from their mental health and addiction struggles. The program offers individualized care, evidence-based treatments, comprehensive case management and 24/7 support. Through an integrated approach to treatment, Valiant Living Men’s Professional Program helps individuals with dual diagnosis to gain insight into their condition, develop better coping tools for managing stress and emotions, and build self-confidence for a brighter future.

FAQ

We’ve put together a list of commonly asked questions to help shed some light on the experience and ease any lingering fears or anxieties you may have.

What is Detox Like?

Our goal is to ensure that the detoxification process is as smooth and comfortable as possible for our guests. Medical care is available 24/7 and we utilize a variety of therapies, activities and treatments to promote a positive, healthy experience. These include daily activities, individual and group therapy, holistic approaches, medication maintenance and more, scheduled in such a way that is ideal for patient recovery. The goal is to maintain a daily balance that isn’t too hectic or overwhelming, nor so relaxed that guests get bored. Patients also receive a certain amount of personal freedom and independence; we are not a hospital or psychiatric ward and clients are not locked in. Our facility strives to create an inviting, home-like environment for a safe and comfortable experience. At Valiant Living Detox and Assessment, our patients are our guests and we treat them as such.

How Long Will Detox Last?

On average, detox lasts about five days but can range from three to 10 days. Detox varies from patient to patient and you or your loved one’s exact length of stay depends on a variety of factors, such as: the substance(s) they have used, the amount of substance(s) they have used, the length of time they have been using the substance(s), frequency of use and the route of administration can all determine just how long they need to be in our care.

What Happens After Detox?

At Valiant Living Detox and Assessment, we understand that detox alone isn’t a long-term solution for treating addiction. It is just one intervention method of many for changing a substance-abusing lifestyle into a clean-and-sober one. For this reason, we work very hard to help each individual develop an appropriate plan for formal chemical dependency treatment, whether on an inpatient or outpatient basis, at the time of their discharge.

How Can An Interventional Approach Help?

Having a plan set up prior to detox would be ideal to help ensure that appropriate treatment is secured in advance, but things don’t always work out this way. Unfortunately, relapses and addiction rarely happen at logical or convenient times and leave little opportunity to set up a plan before entering detox. In this case, we work closely with the patient and their family to develop a post-detox plan and organize the next phase of recovery. This often involves coordinating treatment around work and family responsibilities, considering issues such as motivation, commitment or denial, and untangling financial or insurance limitations. While these decisions are never easy, they are done in order to promote the best chance at achieving long-term recovery and support the individual and their family as they work toward a life free of drugs or alcohol.

Are There Rules Regarding Contact and Visitation?

Detox is a difficult time for both the individual participating in the detox program and their family, who are separated from them during the process. At Valiant Living Detox and Assessment, we want you to feel comfortable knowing that your loved one is in a safe place during this difficult time and is being cared for appropriately with nothing but compassion and support. Although you may feel the need to be in contact or see them during this process, we firmly believe that detox is most effective when there are as few distractions as possible. This allows patients to focus on healing and gives them time to consider their next steps. Throughout the process, a staff member will be in contact with you to provide you with updates, progress reports and more. Our compassionate team will also be available to coach, support and advise you, so you’re better prepared to help your loved one make important decisions regarding their future and provide the guidance, encouragement and empathy they need at this time.

When Can I Call or Visit?

The first 24 hours of detox are often spent resting and recuperating. During this time, patients will have access to a phone and will be able to make a check-in call and provide a progress update. You will be able to provide encouragement and remind your loved one of the importance of what they’re doing, but after this period, it’s important that they focus on themselves and begin the healing process. Detox is a time for patients to take a step back from their lives so they can reconnect with their inner selves and engage in active self-reflection and self-care. Since the time in detox may last for three to 10 days, we recognize the importance of each precious minute we spend with our patients. Visitation may take away from the short amount of time available and interfere with program participation, so we believe it’s important to establish healthy boundaries and spend this time apart. For these reasons, visitation isn’t allowed during the detox phase of treatment, but a staff member will be in regular contact to keep you up-to-date.
