Dual diagnosis, or treating both addiction and the underlying causes of addiction such as mental health issues, has been shown to be more effective than simple behavior modification. Creative Care in Malibu, California, is pioneering the use of dual diagnosis to successfully treat addiction.

Addiction behaviors are complex. Whether a patient is addicted to alcohol, drugs or any other substance, it is not simply because the person "likes" the drug of choice. Often there are underlying causes such as mental health issues that prevent the addict from recovering.

About Creative Care:

Unlike many addiction treatment centers that only focus on the addictive behavior, Creative Care believes that there is an underlying reason for addiction and focuses on dual diagnosis methods to uncover the root problems. When treatment focuses on PTSD, bipolar or depressive disorders, it is very likely that the patient will be better equipped to recover and control the addictive behavior in the future. With the help of dual diagnosis and practical applications, patients recover at a higher rate than with traditional addiction treatment.
