George Patriki: Guiding the Journey to Recovery with Compassion and Expertise

TEXAS CITY, Texas - Aug. 11, 2025 - PRLog -- Many individuals believe they are in control of their addictions—whether related to substances, gambling, or other compulsive behaviors—until they reach a breaking point. That moment of clarity often signals the need for structured support. George Patriki, Director at Dual Diagnosis Consultant, has dedicated nearly three decades to helping individuals navigate the complex journey of recovery.

George's commitment to addiction and mental health treatment is deeply personal. He spent seven years battling addiction before making a life-changing decision in 1983 to pursue recovery. After engaging in extensive trauma-focused therapy, he became a qualified therapist and has since dedicated his life to helping others reclaim theirs.

Now with 29 years of clinical experience, George has supported thousands of individuals through counseling, advocacy, and community outreach. Since 2000, he has led international training programs in dual diagnosis treatment, with his online platform reaching professionals in 116 countries.

George is also the founder of Gold Coast Addiction and Treatment Rehab, a nurturing, non-hospital facility offering individualized recovery programs. Inspired by consistent relapse patterns due to untreated trauma and co-occurring disorders, George developed the Integrative Holistic Framework. This model addresses the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of healing, promoting long-term recovery.

Services at the center combine evidence-based psychotherapy—like EMDR, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy—with complementary treatments such as massage, acupuncture, and nutritional support. The program emphasizes investigating biochemical imbalances, including Omega-3, zinc, and B-vitamin deficiencies, often linked to poor mental health.

Following the National Framework for Drug and Alcohol Treatment Services (2022), the facility ensures high standards in dual diagnosis treatment. A key part of the center's success is its Tripod of Support, which includes weekly counseling, support groups (AA, NA, GA), and regular contact with a recovery sponsor. These layers of care help clients build sustainable recovery both during and after treatment.

George also integrates modern technologies like Neurofeedback, TMS, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and Low-Level Laser Therapy, informed by experts such as Dr. Norman Doidge and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. Additionally, treatments like NeuroElectric Therapy offer non-drug detox options for complex cases.

To make care accessible, the center partners with Release My Super, enabling clients to use superannuation funds for treatment. With growing demand, Gold Coast Addiction and Treatment Rehab is expanding its Intensive Day Treatment Program, offering a four-week beachfront recovery experience for locals and visitors alike.

George's message to future rehab professionals: embrace personalized, integrative care for lasting change.
