Dual Diagnosis: Addressing Substance Abuse and Mental Health Together

Dual diagnosis, or the presence of a mental health disorder alongside a substance use disorder, is a common occurrence among individuals struggling with addiction.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimates that 45 percent of individuals who suffer from addiction share a co-occurring mental health disorder.

While this is an estimate, we believe it to be accurate.

The effects of post-acute withdrawal symptoms can persist for several months, which makes it difficult for short-term treatment providers to distinguish the difference of legitimate underlying mental health disorders.

We believe that determining accurate, measurable baselines are pertinent to the effective, whole-health treatment of the chronic relapser.

45%

of persons who suffer from addiction also suffer from a mental health disorder.

Our program addresses the underlying mental health conditions that keep the addicted person trapped in the cycle of relapse.

Chronic Relapse: Advanced, Life-Threatening Addiction

Chronic relapse refers to a pattern of repeated attempts at sobriety followed by a return to substance use, often despite the negative consequences and a genuine desire to quit.

This cycle can be devastating for individuals and their families, leading to frustration, hopelessness, and even life-threatening consequences from continued use.

The clients who participate in our long-term treatment program are often in dire straits by the time we receive them. Out of necessity, we’ve come to specialize in the treatment of difficult, advanced stages of addiction that have not been mended in other, shorter-term treatment episodes.

We’re just grateful they’ve come to Burning Tree before the consequences of addiction take a more severe toll on their health and well-being.

Progress-Based Metrics: Measuring Success and Ensuring Accountability

Burning Tree utilizes milestone-based metrics to track, analyze, and examine the progress of our clients during every phase of treatment. With this approach, we disregard the number of days, weeks, or months that have passed in treatment.

After all, our clients did not get sick over the course of a few months. It took years. Most families, by the time they reach us, have already come to terms with the fact that easy, short-term fixes are no longer worth pursuing.
