"Dual Diagnosis drug and alcohol Treatment"

Narconon, 12 steps and "Dual Diagnosis" 3 different kinds of treatment

I was at a treatment center that tryed to coerce me to take medication ! With the threat of discharge. I LEFT ! Well was thrown out and didn't get a refund !! I didnt break any rules !

Many of these Dual Diagnosis places like to use the Term " MEDICAION COMPLIANCE " To coerce clients to start or continue Psychiatric drugging. Like they did to me.

This is how the dual diagnosis scam works. Some Common symptoms of post acute withdrawal syndrome from drugs and alcohol:


  • The "pink cloud" the A.A Big Book talks about ! Hypomania (bipolar)
  • Psychosocial dysfunction
  • Anhedonia
  • Depression
  • MOOD SWINGS ! (bipolar)
  • Impaired interpersonal skills
  • Obsessive-compulsive behaviour
  • Feelings of guilt
  • Autonomic disturbances
  • Pessimistic thoughts
  • Impaired concentration
  • Lack of initiative
  • Craving
  • Inability to think clearly
  • Memory problems
  • Emotional overreactions or numbness
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Physical coordination problems
  • Stress sensitivity
  • Increased sensitivity to pain
  • Panic "disorder"
  • Generalised anxiety "disorder"
They tryed to make me belive I have "bi-polar disease" and NEEDED LIFE-TIME medications for this !!!

Some Common symptoms of Psychiatric Dual diagnosis Treatment: JUST A FEW OF MANY !!!!

  • Handing out permanent psychiatric labels during this post acute withdrawal from drugs and alcohol . DUAL DIAGNOSIS
  • Telling people they Have an "Illness" that requires medication .
  • Telling people there "Illness" is a "chemical Imbalance". (total fraud)
  • Neglecting to give Informed Consent. <<<<<
  • The pill for the side effects of a pill you didn't need.
  • The pill for the side effects of the side effects pill.
  • The Endless search for "the right meds", as If that exists
All during acute and post acute withdrawal ! Permanent psychiatric labels during withdrawal !!

  I wrote this  as a direct result of my expirience with that scam called "Dual Diagnosis drug and alcohol Treatment" and being a victim of attempted coerced medication.

"The Risk of Permanent Brain Dysfunction Caused by Psychiatric Drugs"

"Very few studies have examined the danger of potentially permanent changes in brain chemistry caused by long-term use of psychiatric medication..

"Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and Luvox are recent examples of drugs tailor-made in the laboratory to stimulate the activity of the serotonin system...

"All four drugs, known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), block the normal removal of the neurotransmitter serotonin from the synaptic cleftthe space between nerve cells. The resultant overabundance of serotonin then causes the system to become hyperactive. But the brain reacts against this drug-induced overactivity by destroying its capacity to react to stimulation by serotonin. This compensatory process is know as "downregulation." Some of the receptors for serotonin actually disappear or die off.

"To further compensate for the drug effect, the brain tries to reduce its output of serotonin. This mechanism is active for approximately ten days and then begins to fail, whereas downregulation continues indefinitely and may become permanent." ...

"Psychiatric drugs do not always overstimulate neurotransmitter systems. Some drugs inhibit or block nerve transmission in the brain. When this happens, the brain again tries to compensate by reacting in the opposite directionthis time by "upregulation" of the suppressed neurotransmitter system. The "antipsychotic" drugssuch as Thorazine, Haldol, Prolixin, Risperdal, and Zyprexatend to suppress the dopamine system. The brain tries to overcome this effect by making the dopamine system hypersensitive. This upregulation can lead to severe, even permanent neurological disorders.

"In its attempt to overcome the effects of psychiatric drugs, the brain becomes distorted in its functioning. And as already emphasized, the brain cannot immediately recover its original functions once the drugs are stopped. In some cases, the brain may never recover."

Dual Diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment explianed.
It went like this:

Hi,
We are "Recovery Resources Inc" florida treatment center/rehab.
 
We think every emotion is a mental health problem, caused by a brain chemical imbalance.

This is only our first meeting.

You and your family are desperate to try anything.

Using little information, We are dual diagnosing you as alcoholic/substance abuser and 'crazy.' Here's a prescription for several brain-disabling drugs.

They won't get you "high" these brain-disabling drugs but good luck when you try to stop taking them and then can't sleep and get sick when your tired of life as a zombie and/or the dozens of side effects.

We did this to you without any lab test, brain scan or any procedure known to medical science that you in fact "have" the "illness" implied by our diagnostic labels.

But You're now locked into a life-time diagnosis, needing life-time psychiatric "treatment".
 
Keep coming back.

Then we (psychiatry as a whole) gets life-time payments: either from you or from your health insurance.

We never get questioned by anyone. And, if the scam is found out, weve got peers and attorneys to cover it up."

"The shame...is on you."

You have now a "Dual diagnosis" and must take psychiatric drugs forever, Have a nice life.

Everyone gets a bogus shink labels at this place ! dual diagnosis explained.

Dual diagnosis and Informed consent to treatment

 "Although patients, families and the public were not informed - some would argue they were deceived - clinical psychiatrists and researchers have long known about severe adverse drug reactions (ADR) and disabling changes in the central nervous system in a high percentage of patients taking neuroleptic drugs. Foremost among these is "tardive dyskinesia" (TD), an often irreversible, disfiguring disorder of the central nervous system resulting in a variety of involuntary movements, particularly of the tongue, lips, and jaw. muscle movements which affects 40% to 60% of patients taking neuroleptics. Recent research findings corroborate earlier reports (since 1970) linking TD to a deterioration of cognitive functions (see below). "
 
 "Other severe ADRs include: "extrapyramidal symptoms" (EPS), Parkinson-like, impaired motor coordination; sedation; extreme restlessness ("akathesia"); reduced cognitive function;as well as cardiovascular effects, orthostatic hypotension, abnormal liver changes, anticholinergic side effects, sexual dysfunction, and weight gain. Psychotic relapse has been linked to long-term neuroleptic treatment --referred to as, "supersensitivity psychosis." Additionally, there is a one percent risk of "neuroleptic malignant syndrome" (NMS), a potentially fatal side effect." 
  
 "But a review of the history of TD demonstrates clearly that despite the evidence physicians' disclosure and practice with respect to neuroleptic drugs has remained unchanged, and TD afflicts ever more patients, especially after long-term exposure-estimates range between 40% to 60%. The APA has opposed written informed consent from patients."

Excessive beer drinking disorder ? Dual diagnosis treatment ? Were you told the risks ?

http://www.psychsearch.net/lawsuits.html


  When healthcare professionals are allowed to practice off-label prescribing, tragedies are inevitable. There are very serious risks associated with Seroquel, including diabetes mellitus (commonly referred to as Type 2 Diabetes or Adult Onset Diabetes), tardive dyskinesia, pancreatitis and liver disease. There are hundreds of adolescents and 1000s of adults prescribed Seroquel whose lives were cut short or who must now live with serious and often permanent health complications !

"Oceanside Treament Center" Juno Beach Florida. Threw me out for refusing seroquel in the morning as a lesson to the others on "medication compliance" ! 

"Dual diagnosis" Go from "excessive beer drinking disorder" to life long mental patient by taking psychiatric drugs and destroying my health ?

No Thanks !

It is the branding of a "disease" and it is the branding of a drug and "treatments" of a disease (beer drinking disorder-disease) that did not exist before the industry made the disease.

 Or Recovery Resources north palm beach florida  Is where this happend.

"Dude, psychiatrists don't even give out the side effects when they write scripts. and then when you're in their office complaining of Akathisia, debilitating muscle pain and... joint problems, they ask "why do you think that is." to which we say, "uh...i did some research." to which they reply, "Oh! we need to get you off this! Here, we'll write you a script for this!" it's a joke. med free. and the pdocs think your "better" because of the pills. Fkn morons."

Oceanside Treatment Center, Juno Beach.  Your side effects are just "unwillingness" your health and your life is just a big joke. Medication compliance or get out.

Multiple diseases often co-exist in a single client. Co-existing disorders, commonly termed Dual Diagnosis, can be identified during the evaluation process.
 
Disease mongering is a term for the practice of widening the diagnostic boundaries of illnesses, and promoting public awareness of such, in order to expand the markets for those who sell and deliver treatments, which may include pharmaceutical companies, physicians, and other professional or consumer organizations.
