Contact UsWhat Is Dual Diagnosis?
A dual diagnosis is a condition in which a person experiences both a substance use disorder and any other disorder simultaneously.
These co-occurring conditions may include any two or more substance use disorders or mental health disorders listed in the (DSM-5-TR) more than one drug addiction, a drug and alcohol addiction, a drug addiction and a psychological or eating disorder (such as depression or anorexia), or drug addiction and a medical diagnosis (such as AIDS or cirrhosis).
Some of the most common: anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD and mood disorders.
These conditions represent high-risk patients who do not usually respond as well in rehabilitation programs that don't meet their specific needs.
While each type of condition may exist independently, the combination of a medical or mental illness with drug or alcohol use disorders can compound the acute and long-term effects, emphasizing the importance of seeking help from a provider who specializes in the treatment of co-occurring disorders.
Our professional staff is highly skilled at the Master's level in treating adults with co-occurring disorders under the direction of our addiction psychiatrists and the Medical Director. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use while experiencing symptoms of one or more other disorders, please contact Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center to schedule a consultation.
How Does Dual Diagnosis Treatment Work?
At TRRC, we first perform a comprehensive health assessment to ensure our clients have accurate diagnoses. The presence of mind-altering chemicals, such as alcohol or drugs, can have a dramatic effect on a person’s mood and behavior; therefore, we treat those with addiction or alcoholism as their primary diagnosis.
When there are indicators of possible dual diagnosis, it is much more apparent once any illicit or addictive substances are removed from all systems of the body, through medical detoxification.
We are an integrated care facility, which means, our inpatient clients meet with addiction psychiatrists and other Master's level mental health professionals for assistance in diagnosing and treating co-occuring disorders.
For best practice and case management, we work together with designated professionals, while sharing medical and clinical information and updates regarding each client's progress; and as a team, we help our clients find the most efficient route to effective treatment and long-term recovery.
Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center Reviews
Thanks to Donna Henry for taking the time to send me places to call to get into rehab I will be starting my journey to recovery on Friday. I'm excited
I cannot express enough the gratitude for the exceptional care and support provided by Touchstone. The staff here are truly compassionate and dedicated professionals who genuinely care about each patient. The facility itself is clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities to make the stay as pleasant as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone seeking help.
This place is AMAZING! If you are seeking complete rehabilitation with strong aftercare, look no further. The staff is caring and always there to help. The education, facilities, and food are all phenomenal. The counselors are genuine and truly want to get to the core of your addiction, not just detox you and send you on your way. I stayed for an additional month, a total of 4, and they worked with me on the financial piece since insurance coverage had ended. It was completely worth the cost and I couldn’t be more grateful. While I hope to never relapse, if I do, I will be back there in a heartbeat.
I was at Touchstone a few years ago. I am from NC and it was SO worth the plane ticket. I can’t thank Debbie enough for what she did for me. She had an awesome staff. Her counselors were amazing, the nurses were wonderful, and the food was much better than you get at home!! When you are away from family you want to be around people who care for you. You also want a great place to be comfortable and sleep well!! Debbie cares about you being comfortable and she makes sure the little things and the big things are taken care of!!! I promise if you need to go to rehab, look no further. This is where you need to go!! Debbie, thanks for the healing. From Downtown Steven Brown
Best decision of my life. I tried to leave after 3 weeks, and ended up staying 4 months and that’s exactly what I needed. The staff went above and beyond to take care of me, and over 6 years later I am grateful to still be clean. I owe it all to Touchstone and their amazing staff.
