Destination Hope is a mental health treatment center. For us, dual-diagnosis isn’t simply a bullet point on a list.  Addiction is a mental health disorder, but it’s only one of many. At Destination Hope, disorders, like depression or anxiety are just as carefully diagnosed and treated as addiction is. Too many drug rehabs do the bare minimum required to call themselves a dual-diagnosis program. Some even attempt to treat mental illnesses they really aren’t  even qualified or capable enough to resolve.

Improperly treated co-occurring disorders are a major cause of relapse. Addiction recovery is challenging, even without a secondary psychiatric diagnosis. Many people with unresolved mental illness find themselves addicted due to efforts to ‘self-medicate’. Destination Hope takes a thorough approach to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. This is how we became the standard-bearer for substance abuse and mental health treatment Fort Lauderdale.
