Specialty Addiction Treatment Programs
Alcohol and drug abuse are directly related to how we cope with daily stressors. Both the problem, drugs and alcohol coupled with situational influences, mental health disorders, must be addressed.
To attend to the different needs of our patients, Lakeview Health Systems has created three specialty tracks:
Dual Diagnosis: When there is drug and alcohol addiction coupled with a mental disorder(s), the potential for recovery is greatly diminished unless both the addiction and the mental disorder are addressed. Unfortunately, once a patient turns to drugs and alcohol the chances of another mental disorder occurring doubles, according to a new study published in the Principles of Addiction Medicine. Alternatively, people with mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are much more likely to abuse substances. Detoxification and dual diagnosis treatment provide the patient with knowledge and skills to cope with life on a daily basis.
Freedom Rings: This award-winning program is specifically designed to address issues related to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning community. Our program provides GLBTQ patients with a safe and secure environment, and provides them with the tools to maintain sobriety in an oftentimes hostile world.
Came to Believe: Individual spirituality is a core component to addiction treatment. Cognizant of that reality, Lakeview Health Systems has created a treatment track to accommodate those patients who are interested in a drug and alcohol treatment program that incorporates the teachings of Jesus Christ and Christian values.
All specialty tracks participate in some of the drug and alcohol addiction treatment components of the general patient population. Because we believe that treatment must be customized to the individual patient, specific groups, family therapy, and individual counseling conducted separate from the general population to maintain the focus of each track.
