”I went through two other centers and never had a clue—but you showed me where to find it and how to fix it. You truly opened my eyes.”

Dual Diagnosis
The majority of addicts have underlying issues, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or post traumatic stress disorder, which contribute to their substance dependency. People often turn to drugs and/or alcohol to cope with these issues. Typically referred to as a dual diagnosis or co-occuring disorders, an estimated 70% of people treated for alcohol or drug addiction struggle these underlying problems.
When trying to find a rehab center, it is important to ensure that there is a clinical psychologist on staff, to determine whether dual diagnosis issues exist. Without addressing these issues and blindly attacking the symptoms of addiction, a relapse is almost guaranteed.
Holistic Medicine
Most rehab facilities use the traditional 12-step principle as a basis for treatment, along with counseling and group therapy. Many rehabs, though, are starting to integrate holistic methods into their programs. Sovereign Health of California is one of these. We offer a range of clinical treatments combined with a variety of holistic therapies, all of which are designed to ensure that our clients have a successful and peaceful, long-term recovery.
As an example, acupuncture is successful in treating addiction by relieving the discomfort of withdrawal. It is now offered in detox facilities throughout the world and is court mandated in over 300 rehab centers. Massage therapy has also proved effective in increasing relaxation and improving patient wellbeing.
