Challenges Addiction and Relapse Prevention Center

http://challenges-program.com/About

Challenges Addiction and Relapse Prevention Center is nationally known for its success treating addiction, as well as prevention and treatment of addiction relapse.

Mental illness and addiction often occur together and understanding this fact is a critical element in treating addiction.

This condition is called dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders.

Addiction and mental illness are both brain diseases. A person susceptible to one type of brain disease (addiction) may also be vulnerable to another. They involve the same pathways, molecules and chemicals in the brain.

The Challenges treatment program uses highly individualized treatment plans to combat two of the biggest issues in addiction treatment:

1) The high rate of relapse for clients struggling with addiction.
2) The fact that mental illness and addiction often occur together.
