LIV Recovery Center, a behavioral and mental health treatment clinic in Alpharetta, Georgia, is advancing its dual diagnosis treatment services to better serve individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. A dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a substance use disorder and one or more mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or a trauma or mood disorder.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 21.2 million adults in the U.S. struggle with a dual diagnosis. People with co-occurring disorders are twice as likely to relapse or have other poor outcomes, such as emergency room visits or hospitalizations. That’s because co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders exist in a hard-to-break cycle, often fueling or triggering each other.
LIV Recovery Center’s integrated, dual diagnosis approach is designed to address limitations of current models that treat addiction or mental health conditions in isolation. Says CEO Todd Wilson, “We recognize that substance use disorders and mental health conditions are deeply connected. Our integrated dual diagnosis approach ensures individuals receive comprehensive care that addresses the root causes of addiction and supports lasting recovery.”
The center’s dual diagnosis treatment model ensures each individual receives personalized, trauma-informed, and evidence-based care. Therapeutic modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and medication-assisted treatment when clinically appropriate. The Alpharetta rehab center offers services treating both mental health and substance use disorders simultaneously.
LIV Recovery Center is increasing its focus on providing a full continuum of care during dual diagnosis treatment. Current programs include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and ongoing recovery support tailored to individual needs. The center also offers resources and support for those in need of drug or alcohol detox or residential treatment.
