An eating disorder is any condition in which an individual has an unhealthy relationship with food and the act of consumption. Eating disorders can entail undernourishment, as in the case of anorexia and bulimia, or overnourishment, as in the case of binge eating and overeating. In any event, an eating disorder is always the product of an underlying psychological disturbance, and thus can only be overcome with the help of acute psychological care. No one ever chooses to be a problem eater. And no one can ever just simply choose to get better. On the contrary, if you’re going to master your disease, it’s going to be because you get help from people you can trust.
It’s important to note here that an eating disorder can often stem from the same underlying condition that causes addiction. In that sense, addiction treatment and eating disorder treatment are to a significant degree different sides of the same process. A successful addiction treatment program is one that addresses and heals the whole addict. Eating disorder recovery, where relevant, has to be part of the equation. Anything less simply isn’t good enough.

| Post Traumatic stress Disorder |
|
| Filed under: Psychiatric Disorder — Suki @ 2:53 pm |
Post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is any condition in which a patient is plagued by the psychological aftereffects of a traumatic event. The trigger for post traumatic stress disorder can be any of a number of painful or shocking disturbances, from combat experiences to car crashes to everything in-between. Victims of PTSD are typically subject to chronic and unpredictable flashbacks to the even itself, and to a wide range of psychological maladies associated with the failure to achieve meaningful closure. It is, simply stated, not a pleasant way to live one’s life.
It should perhaps be no surprise that many victims of post traumatic stress disorder turn to substance abuse as a means of self-medication. What might not be so obvious is that addiction treatment can’t be successful if it doesn’t address a patient’s underlying psychiatric health. An addict with PTSD cannot get sober without first getting psychologically healed. If you or someone you care about is a PTSD victim with a substance abuse problem, you can’t get better unless you get all-the-way better. For your own sake, let today be the day you find an addiction treatment program that can help you do just that.

| Depression |
|
| Filed under: Dual Diagnosis — Suki @ 5:58 pm |
Mood disturbance is frequently associated with addiction for a simple reason: Mood disturbances are unpleasant, and substance abuse can make them more tolerable. To be a victim of mood disorder is to be a victim of one’s own emotions. Mood disturbance patients are subject to volatile and unpredictable mood swings, and thus are predisposed to the sort of chemical succor offered by drug and alcohol abuse. The practical implication, of course, is that no addict can get sober so long as his or her mood disorder persists…and no drug and alcohol treatment program can be successful without addressing a patient’s underlying psychological health.
The rehabilitation center that’s right for you is the one that can help you get sober from the inside-out. And it has to start with dual diagnosis. Only by evaluating you as a whole person, on both physical and psychological terms, can a rehab center design an addiction treatment program that can meet your needs. Addiction recovery, in other words, can’t be divorced from mood disturbance and depression recovery. There’s simply no other way to get healed.

It surprises many people to learn that overeating can be indicative of an underlying psychological disorder. In fact, chronic overeating is a disease, no less so than anorexia or bulimia…or diabetes or hypertension, for that matter. Overeaters are not weak-willed, or gluttonous. They do not overeat because they choose to. They overeat because they’re sick. An eating disorder, in other words, is never the product of a rational decision. And eating disorder recovery can never be achieved without competent clinical care.
If you or someone you care about is a victim of overeating, you need help from counselors and therapists you can trust. Successful eating disorder treatment is that administered by compassionate professionals. What’s more, successful eating disorder treatment has to be holistic in scope. Overeating results from both physiological and emotional causes. Only treatment that addresses both roots can ever help patients get sober for good.

| Depression treatment can only work if it’s intimate in scope |

Depression treatment can only work if it’s intimate in scope. Depression never impacts any two individuals in quite the same way, after all. On the contrary, every depression victim is unique…and every depression treatment program has to recognize as much. Depression treatment can only succeed insofar as it helps you get healed on your own terms. In the end, anything less than the most personal care simply isn’t good enough.
The practical implication here is that depression treatment can’t be an assembly-line operation. The depression treatment center that’s right for you is the one that evaluates your individual needs, and constructs a care program accordingly. Make no mistake, depression recovery will change your life. The only catch is that it has to be done right. For your own sake, don’t wait another day to find a treatment center that can help you get where you need to go.

Thank you for helping me find a great rehab. I am really glad I called. Privacy was a big concern for me. Alan was very knowledgeable about all the top-tier rehabs and helped me narrow it down to the ones where I could be sure my privacy would be respected. "
Janet J. "I just want to say thank you. You found me a rehab center where for the first time I was able to get the healing I needed in a quiet, private space without constant attention. All I could hear when I woke up in the morning was the sound of the ocean and the birds. It was exactly the kind of space I needed to heal."
