We start with a desire for a better life...
Literally millions of people suffer from diagnosed as well as undiagnosed depression. Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches is one of the leading addiction treatment centers for successfully treating what is known as dual diagnosed/co-occurring disorders. Co-occurring disorders/dual diagnosed addictions are when someone has both a chemical dependency and a diagnosed mood disorder, such as depression. Many people who suffer from alcohol and drug abuse also are clinically depressed or dual diagnosed.
Depression and other mood disorders are very treatable conditions. If necessary, our staff psychiatrist can prescribe the appropriate medication. Medication is merely to help the client maintain emotional stability. Our clinical team is extensively trained to recognize and treat mood disorders, especially depression. Dependency and mood disorders need to be treated concurrently to insure successful, long term recovery. By applying the proper therapy and addressing key underlying issues, depression and other mood disorders become simply a part of a recovering person’s program.
