  • Dual Diagnosis

    In Torrance, California, there are various treatment options available to address the needs of individuals with dual diagnoses. When it comes to addiction treatment, a dual diagnosis, also known as a co-occurring disorder or comorbidity, occurs when someone experiences two or more disorders simultaneously, such as a substance use disorder and a depressive disorder. Integrated treatment, which addresses both mental illness and substance use disorder concurrently, generally proves more effective for individuals dealing with a dual-diagnosis disorder compared to separate treatments for each condition. At Thelma McMillen Recovery Center in Torrance, California, our approach to treating dual-diagnosis disorders involves a team of knowledgeable addiction treatment professionals who offer comprehensive services that prioritize the well-being of the whole person and support overall health and recovery.

  • Mental Health

    Untreated mental health disorders can have severe and potentially life-threatening consequences. Various factors, both internal and external, can disrupt an individual’s mental well-being. Internally, the emergence of conditions like depression or anxiety can contribute to these challenges, while externally, traumatic events can also take a toll. However, there are instances where counseling alone may not suffice in addressing mental health conditions. In such cases, Thelma McMillen Recovery Center in Torrance, California, provides a comprehensive level of support by offering mental health treatment alongside substance use disorder management. By opting for mental health treatment at Thelma McMillen Recovery Center, individuals can access the stability and guidance necessary to foster meaningful progress and achieve recovery.

  • Opioid Addiction
