With so many different philosophies regarding how to best treat addiction / alcoholism and with claims of success that are hard to believe, Lakeview Health Systems took a different approach to developing its "state of the art" addiction treatment center. The principals of Lakeview Health System's dedicated years and reviewed the philosophies and treatment services of over one hundred drug rehabs throughout the country and came to the following conclusion; that the most effective form of addiction treatment was found to be a multi-disciplinary approach. They came to believe that the "whole person" needed to be treated and not just presenting symptoms.
Furthermore, they understood that through the continual abuse of alcohol and drugs, the addict's or alcoholic's brain chemistry had been greatly affected. While there is years of research to support the fluctuation in brain chemistry due to drug and alcohol abuse there are practical examples of an impaired thought process such as:
There is further research to support the findings that through abstinence, time and treatment, the brain can regenerate and achieve chemical balance.
Lastly, Lakeview believes that people can be genetically predisposed to addiction, alcoholism and other associated disorders. As such, the medical and clinical staff at Lakeview has combined a number of interrelated services to treat all the various components of a person's addiction and personality. We view this as treating the body, mind and spirit of the individual.
In conjunction with addiction or alcoholism, studies have shown that over 60 percent of the men and women entering addiction treatment suffer from a co-occurring mental health condition. This is referred to as dual diagnosis. The physicians and clinicians at Lakeview believe it is imperative that both substance abuse issues and mental health issues be addressed while the person is in addiction treatment.
