John, CEO of The Recovery Place, sees this as a core element of why TRP's dual diagnosis treatment program has helped Sarah. Sarah started cutting and struggled with an eating disorder. Because Sarah did not know how to deal with the traumas in her life she attempted suicide twice and her addiction grew worse. The dual diagnosis treatment team at The Recovery Place knew that her addiction needed to be treated at the same time as her other problems, in order for her recovery to become a reality. "Dual diagnosis," John explains, "speaks to personality disorders associated with the use of drugs and alcohol." These tandem problems can be anxiety or depression, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or like Sarah, problems with trauma and and eating disorders. By getting the appropriate dual diagnosis treatment that she needs, Sarah has been clean for 90 days.
