At MyRehab Dual Diagnosis Addiction Centres, we understand that dealing with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time can be challenging. That’s why we use medication as one of the key ways to help our patients. This kind of medical treatment is really important in our care plan, especially for those who need support for both their mental health condition and substance use disorder.

Our doctors carefully choose medications that can help with different parts of dual diagnosis. For instance, they might suggest certain medicines to ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, or treat mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. It’s all about finding the right balance for each person’s unique situation.

At MyRehab, we’re extra careful when prescribing any medicine. We always watch out for interactions between different medications, and we pay close attention to how each patient reacts to their treatment. It’s all done in a controlled way to make sure it’s as safe and effective as possible.

We believe in using medication alongside other kinds of therapy, like counseling or group sessions. This combined approach gives our patients the best chance at a lasting recovery.

Medicine alone isn’t the answer, but it can definitely help make the journey smoother. If you have questions about how pharmacological treatments might be a part of your or your loved one’s care at MyRehab, just reach out. We’re here to talk about how these treatments work and why they could be a really useful part of the recovery process.
