Making an Accurate Diagnosis is Difficult

"Dual Diagnosis" refers to those who have been diagnosed with a possible psychological condition (bipolar, PTSD, ADD etc.) and alcohol, drug dependency, addiction at the same time.

At least 50 percent of the 20 million Americans with psychological conditions abuse illicit drugs or alcohol, - according to the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration.

According to Patrick Smith, M.A., of PacifiCare Behavioral Health, "A substance abuse problem can mimic, mask, or aggravate various brain abnormalities cause by PTSD.

Drug and alcohol dependency often go hand-in-hand with imbalanced brain chemistry. Among alcoholics, nearly half have an overlapping psychological imbalance as a result of abuse or form of PTSD, .. to help cover the pain.

The problem for professional counselors and health care providers in trying to help these patients is making an accurate diagnosis. Consult your doctor, people who claim instant cures are more likely just treating you with words.

     At the Crosby Centers, we can accurately diagnose and treat conditions that would be beyond the capabilities of most other treatment facilities, centers or rehabs

 Today, with our Newest Technology, we can identify and treat the causes,        

                ….opposed to most rehab programs where you just  try to learn how to live with your conditions by taking more medications and going to  AA meetings for the rest of y our life- 

 

You have choices today, …call us, we can help!

 

 Most clients come here taking multiple drugs and or with alcohol abuse, have been in emergency detox, been in 2-3 12-step rehabs and are usually pretty sick and tired of being sick and tired.  Families are at their wits-end realizing that there is a bit more than the drugs or alcohol that are causing anxiety, arguments {fight or flight encounters} and uncontrollable mood swings.  

At the Crosby Centers, we can identify the causes and we provide effective solutions-, without the risks common in most facilities

 

 Our successful outcomes sets us apart from all others.        

   

    At The Crosby Centers the extraordinary success of our programs have given clients their best opportunity to reclaim their life and achieve sustained recovery, often without medications and AA meetings for the rest of your life.

AA&E Retreat/ Crosby Centers are recognized around the world for having the advanced technology that literally photos, and scans your 19-primary brain functions.  This technology helps our specialists and doctors to identify why you suffer with mood-swings, anxiety, an addiction or uncontrollable behavior: psychological abuse, PTSD, sexual and physical abuse, pre-mature dementia or other psychological related conditions and addictions enjoined with drug or alcohol abuse. We provide a wide variety of interventions from natural supplements, medications, and targeted integrated multiple forms of Individual Psychotherapy in Dialectical Behavior Therapies combining Bio and Neuro-treatments and we get results where others have failed.

For balance  ' Mind - Body - Spirit '  a quality of life.

     Our treatment programs are individualized focused on SPECT brain photo imaging, neuro-functional scans and  multiple psychological tests that identify underlying facts and your true conditions for comprehensive assessments and evaluations. We look at the whole person's integrated functions-, ...cumulatively the brain functions direct sensors and controls our feelings, thoughts and behaviors, "what is my relationship with life"!  This comprehensive integrated dialectical treatment processes and emotional regulation {combined meditation with stimulating of the parasympatheitc nervous system} are very effective to live a more connected vibrant life and having been published by various media, is now being talked about nation-wide in progressive clinical and health care arenas. 

Today, through new technology, we can clearly identify causes of psychological and addictive conditions and diagnose for effective treatment.

      *[In simplification} -, ...case experience shows us that with new technology scans and photos, psychological tests and comprehensive physicals, our team of experienced doctors can identify basal ganglia levels associated with anxiety, irritability, difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, anterior cingulated problems leading to OCD, and feeling emotionally "stuck", inflexible associated with amygdala 'fight-flight' reactions [emotional regulation}and compulsive addictions; identify irregularity with the thalamus associated with intense emotions, aggression, and sensitivity to pain.

     Through new technology, our experience and shared knowledge, our doctors can identify the causes and know how to adjust the emotional drivers in the brain, while stimulating neuro adjustment functions in the lower brain, in turn results in  calculated change, and when effective the psychological turmoil transfers and logically subsides as the addiction cravings dissipate. This of course is simplified for briefing, but it provides an idea of how "clinical integrated therapies" are effective. We focus on the adjusting triggers and neurotransmitter movements.  The ultimate result is change in feelings, thought processing and behavior, a feeling of self control, satisfaction, well-being.

    Most doctors will tell you that medications often just mask the psychological imbalance in the hopes that the body will heal itself over time. Medications are primarily prescribed to help regulate emotions, reactions and relieve pain. While not being able to measure the full impacts of the medication effects, all too often medications create a chemical imbalance in the brain, setting up an addiction, while altering sensory perceptions and compromising one's ability to logically manage feelings, emotional-regulation, fears guilt or shame to a point of thoughts of suicide.

Some individuals self medicate for relief in a similar manner with alcohol and illicit drugs setting up brain imbalances and an emotional addiction, or drug dependency. Today there is technology, insight and affordable solutions for effective treatment for complicated neurological illnesses; ...holistically normalizing systems and brain malfunctions -, ...thus opening the opportunity for natural recovery giving patients their best opportunity to reclaim their life and a better quality of life.

  Our team of doctors at The Crosby Centers have many years of experience in treating patients afflicted with complicated psychological illnesses and dual diagnosed addictions even when complicated by a wide range of related mental conditions, schizophrenia, asbergers, acute anxiety conditions, panic attacks, distorted images, DID, ADHD, PTSD, chronic alcoholism, unhealthy feelings, emotional regulation and other psychological conditions that would be beyond the capabilities of most other treatment facilities, centers or rehabs.

Perfectionism                           Perfectionism Reinforces Eating Disorders 

PerfectionismCollege-aged young adults already concerned with their physical appearance can have tendencies toward eating disorders reinforced by perfectionist parents.

Seventeen percent of the students surveyed exhibited eating patterns considered maladaptive, including vomiting as a result of feeling uncomfortably full.

Personal perfectionism was also found to be more an issue in eating disorders than food itself. Those who feel out of control of their lives and bodies may turn to eating as an area in which they do have a sense of control.

An interesting note neurologically, the adrenalin influence on the dopamine level has significant baring on the continued practice and ultimately sets up a chemical imbalance soliciting a continued pattern, a compulsive behavior of eating and vomiting.

   A Thank You From A Guest;

"I want to thank you again, personally for all AA&E gave me.  When you said your doctors were the best, you delivered.  When you said I would have my own room with a private patio, you delivered!  This was no small thing for me,  for my comfort and safety. You saw to it I always had fresh flowers and even sent me off with gorgeous red roses! (I brought one all the way across the country to my home).  These are no small gestures to a Southern girl.  Thank you, from my heart for helping me want to live again".                                                                              Best,
