Mental Health & Substance Use Treatment Los Angeles, California -

Sovereign Health of Los Angeles provides residential and intensive outpatient treatment for mental health issues, substance abuse disorders and co-occurring conditions. We offer medically supervised detox for patients who require it. Every patient receives a thorough assessment during intake. Our clinicians use this information to construct a recovery plan specific to the patient’s needs.

Mental health treatment

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) notes over 60 million Americans experience a mental illness in any given year. Of these, over 13 million live with a serious mental disorder such as schizophrenia, depression or bipolar disorder.

Sovereign Health treats an array of mental health conditions, including

Depression
Bipolar disorder
Schizophrenia

Panic disorders
Anxiety disorders
Post-traumatic stress disorder

Diagnosing a mental health issue can be difficult. This is why we conduct such a thorough patient assessment during intake. This assessment provides the blueprint for the patient’s treatment regimen. Our clinicians pull from a variety of therapies and treatment modalities to build this individualized plan. As patients progress in treatment, their needs may change. Our Los Angeles treatment center clinicians and counselors adapt treatment to reflect the patient’s new reality.

Substance use disorders

Sovereign Health’s substance abuse treatment programs address the physical ravages of addiction and the psychological issues that fuel it. Depending upon the severity of the patient’s condition, he or she may need to detox before commencing treatment. We offer nutritionally assisted detox (NAD) to safely wean a patient from substances without having to introduce still more substances into his or her bloodstream.

Our treatment programs address a variety of addictions, including

Methamphetamines
Xanax
K2/spice
Club drugs
Other opiates

Prescription drugs
Marijuana
Cocaine
Heroin
Alcohol

In recent years, the number of synthetic drugs on the street has nearly tripled. Substances vary, but addiction remains the same. We know that a person does not decide one day to become an addict or an alcoholic. The reasons why this happens are as complex as is the individual. Substance abuse treatment only succeeds if it can get to the root causes fueling the individual’s need to engage in self-destructive behavior.

Dual diagnosis treatment

Dual diagnosis, co-occurring or comorbid conditions present the ultimate chicken-or-the-egg scenario: does substance abuse lead to mental illness or does addiction arise out a person’s need to self-medicate in order to calm his inner demons? The answer is a little bit of both.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) notes nearly eight million Americans had co-occurring disorders in 2014. An individual who consistently abuses substances, particularly cocaine, methamphetamines and crystal meth, can develop drug-induced psychoses. Conversely, an individual with schizophrenia will abuse alcohol or other substances to find relief from voices, hallucinations and other symptoms of the disorder. Dual diagnosis can be the epitome of a vicious circle.

Sovereign Health breaks this cycle by treating the patient in total. It’s no secret mental health issues and substance use disorders can be insidiously intertwined. Our intake assessment ensures no condition goes undiagnosed. Our Los Angeles treatment center clinicians are trained in recognizing and diagnosing co-occurring conditions.
