Individuals who are looking for an addiction recovery center for themselves or a loved one need not look further than the McLean Institute addiction recovery facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

What to Expect at the McLean Institute Drug Rehab Facility

At the McLean Institute, the process of care begins with detoxification, which is completely supervised in order to provide clients with the most comfortable experience possible under the circumstances. Our experienced staff will be on hand to supervise detox and ensure that the client is in a safe environment as their body purges any remnants of the substance from its system.

The Benefits of Detox at Our Addiction Recovery Facility

One of the core steps toward recovery that we integrate into our addiction recovery program is drug detox. Our drug recovery facility is monitored, which means that professionals are supervising your detox at all times during the process.

The process of drug detox aims to remove the toxic chemicals that have accumulated in your body. Long-term drug abuse can lead to the accumulation of these chemicals and toxic substances, and your body will have become dependent on these in many regards. Drug detox eliminates these toxins and starts you back at zero so that you can begin treatment right away.

What Is Dual Diagnosis?

Dual diagnosis is part of our recovery plan for clients who are struggling with a co-occurring mental health disorder. In many cases, a client may be struggling with a mental health disorder that occurs alongside their addiction. For example, addiction and bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety are common companions.

It makes sense that dual diagnosis is essential for the full treatment of an individual with an addiction. If issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety are not treated, clients can achieve sobriety and recover from addiction while at a residential treatment center, but once they leave the facility, the mental issues are still there, and relapse will often occur.
