Getting right what’s been wrong.
Everyone knows if it’s not one thing, it’s another. But sometimes, it’s something else completely.
It’s hard not to get caught up in the world of labels. The moment we think we know what the label is that can finally define what ails us, the sooner we are confident that it can start to get treated or “cured”. The downside and hard truth is that many people are incorrectly diagnosed from the onset, only to begin treatment and continue taking medications that just won’t work for one simple reason: they are being treated for the wrong problem. Welcome to the world of misdiagnosis.
Misdiagnosis is a double-edged sword. It creates false hope at the beginning and then leaves a trail of medication or treatment that has to be reversed or abandoned completely before starting from scratch all over again to get to a place where a proper diagnosis can be made. It is also a tricky and sometimes evasive gremlin that masks itself or plays impostor for a variety of causes and a number of reasons, thus making it difficult to identify without proper training. A professional, qualified, watchful eye looks for many signs to avoid making a misdiagnosis. But honesty is also a part of the bargain and is required of the person seeking treatment to avoid this pitfall.
1 Method Center has professionally trained, seasoned professionals who have decades of experience working with people who have been incorrectly treated as a result of misdiagnosis.

Getting Misdiagnosed is Common
Getting the right care depends on correctly identifying the problem. In a recent study, over 88% of those who enrolled in a specialized clinical setting for a second opinion received a new or refined diagnosis. Misdiagnosis happens all the time – particularly among those exhibiting signs of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and mental illness.
