It is common for mental health conditions and substance misuse issues to coexist. It is also natural to want to self-medicate emotional pain and mental health symptoms with substances. However, it only worsens the situation. Substances can also cause the onset of or worsen existing mental health conditions. This co-occurrence of mental health and substance misuse is known as dual diagnosis.
Zelus Recovery provides comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment in Idaho. Our team has experience working with adults and adolescents struggling with addiction and mental health issues. We understand there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment, so we tailor our treatment plans to meet each patient’s needs. We also prioritize holistic methods and family involvement in all our treatment programs. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction and a co-occurring mental health condition, contact our compassionate team today at 208.518.0797 to learn how our dual diagnosis in Idaho can help.
What Is a Dual Diagnosis?
Examples of Co-Occurring Conditions
Examples of dual diagnoses include the following:
- Depression disorders and alcohol dependence
- Anxiety disorders and opioid dependence
- Bipolar disorder and cocaine dependence
Co-occurring conditions are common because mental health issues may cause individuals to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. Additionally, the changes in brain chemistry that occur when someone abuses substances can make them more susceptible to developing a psychiatric disorder. It is essential to be evaluated by trained professionals so a proper diagnosis can be made.
About Dual Diagnosis Treatment
In dual diagnosis treatment programs, the team works to identify and treat both conditions simultaneously. This approach ensures that the patient receives comprehensive care for all their issues.
Some individuals may struggle with a dual diagnosis but never receive anything more than standard addiction treatment. This can be problematic because the underlying mental health issue goes untreated, increasing the risk of worsening symptoms and leading to a relapse. With dual diagnosis treatment, patients get the comprehensive care they need to tackle both conditions holistically and start their journey toward lasting recovery.
