(Newswire.net — March 24, 2020) — Utah Mountain Peak Recovery offers dual diagnosis program for individuals suffering multiple disorders such as substance abuse and mental health issues, residential or outpatient
Mountain Peak Recovery, a leading Utah-based recovery and treatment center, has launched a new dual diagnosis program designed to treat mental health issues alongside substance abuse.

The approach implemented by the recovery center is intensive and fully integrated. It has been developed in a bid to overcome traditional diagnosis and treatment issues whereby only one disorder is treated, which leaves the patient vulnerable to relapse.
It is widely acknowledged within the field that many individuals do not receive treatment for the multiple disorders they are facing. The new dual diagnosis strategy begins by assessing the individual needs of the patient by separating out the multiple issues they are facing.
For instance, drug abuse, including prescription drugs and alcohol can cause symptoms like those associated with mental health issues. But it is also accepted that in some instances, disorders and symptoms that begin as a result of substance abuse can have lasting effects, including mental health issues, even after detoxification is complete.
The program offered by Mountain Peak Recovery aims to provide a safe and secure environment in which patients can be treated for multiple issues simultaneously in order to recover. Individuals interested in undertaking the program can do so either as an outpatient or as part of a residential course.
Residential treatment involves a two-step strategy whereby the primary disorder is treated as a priority followed by the secondary disorder once stabilization has been achieved. The course promotes a collaborative approach, whereby the patient works with the treatment team to ensure they feel supported throughout the process.
A spokesperson for the company said, “The priority of the treatment team at Mountain Peak Recovery is always the client. We understand that many individuals who come to us for treatment are facing a range of complicated issues that affect their everyday lives.”
They continued, “The dual diagnosis program offers a fully comprehensive and integrated solution that aims to overcome the multiple issues facing our clients in a secure and nurturing environment.”
Those diagnosed with dual diagnosis disorders can face a range of complex challenges, even after detoxifying. There may be an increased risk in relapse, hospitalization and complications from drug use such as HIV.
Traditional recovery clinics generally do not treat substance abuse and mental health disorders together. But this can be problematic for the individual in recovery because only part of the problem is resolved, which means the client is more likely to face relapse.
There are many facets to the dual diagnosis program. Individuals in need of help, whether for themselves or someone they know, are invited to visit the website at the URL above to find out more information about process and whether it is right for them.
