Extensive Testing Ensures All Needs are Met for Each Client at Gatehouse Academy Drug Rehab

Gatehouse Academy leaves no stone unturned when it comes to their clients’ treatment. They test each person to diagnose any existing mental disorders, administer the right therapies and help each client learn the cognitive and behavioral skills necessary to live a sober life.

Wickenburg, AZ (Webwire) July 24, 2008—Gatehouse Academy, the leading young adult drug rehab, individualizes their program to ensure any undiagnosed mental disorders their clients may have are diagnosed and treated. Dual Diagnosis is a large factor in drug and alcohol abuse and addiction.

Dual Diagnosis is a catch phrase in the drug rehab sphere but few treatment centers actually have the capabilities of diagnosing and treating these co-occurring conditions. Many times a person will have a predisposition to addiction because they unknowingly try to self-medicate in order to alleviate their suffering.

Gatehouse Academy gives extensive testing to each and every client in their alcohol and drug rehab program to find any of these conditions. Depression, anxiety and learning disabilities are some of the most common mental disorders that contribute to addiction. By diagnosing these co-occurring conditions, the appropriate and necessary therapies can be administered.

Helping the client understand their condition and learn how to cope with it is a key part to success after treatment.

“We make sure that our clients have extensive testing and if a previously undiagnosed condition is found, we make sure they receive the therapies needed to function in life after treatment,” stated Jacquie Arcand, the Director of Marketing for Gatehouse Academy.

A successful drug rehab program must be comprehensive and meet each and every need of all clients. By diagnosing and treating all conditions that a client suffers from, Gatehouse Academy helps their clients to succeed in the battle for sobriety, which is one of the reasons Gatehouse Academy enjoys a high success rate.
