Dual Diagnosis Treatment

A dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. These conditions often interact, making it challenging to achieve lasting sobriety without treating both simultaneously.

Common mental health disorders associated with addiction include:

• Depression – Persistent sadness, low energy, and loss of interest in daily activities.
• Anxiety Disorders – Excessive worry, panic attacks, and difficulty coping with stress.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Trauma-related symptoms that affect daily life.
• Bipolar Disorder – Extreme mood swings between manic and depressive episodes.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Repetitive thoughts or behaviors that interfere with life.
• Schizophrenia – Hallucinations, delusions, and difficulty distinguishing reality.

Without proper treatment, substance abuse and mental health disorders can reinforce each other, leading to relapse and worsening symptoms. That’s why integrated treatment is essential for recovery.
