[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 610686, member: 1967"] comaheart, I did a lot of research about this when we sent our difficult child to a dual diagnosis center for her addiction and mental health issues. Current research shows that both the addiction and mental health issues have to be treated concurrently in order for it to be effective. If you treat the addiction first the underlying mental health issues just drives them back to self-medicating and you can't really treat the mental health issues first because the drugs and addiction clouds the mind so they can't think clearly and respond to treatment. Honestly, 37 days is a drop in the bucket. I was told that the drugs really aren't completely out of their systems for a month and I would say that I didn't really see a big difference with my difficult child until the third month into her residential stay. Hang in there and give this time to work. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
