Dual Diagnosis TreatmentMany of those who struggle with addiction to drugs or alcohol also face mental health challenges. Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other diagnoses can make it difficult to overcome addiction. However, a dual diagnosis treatment center can help.

Dual diagnosis involves integrated treatment for both substance use disorders and mental health issues. In other words, someone who is struggling with alcohol addiction and depression will receive treatment for both issues at the same time. This type of treatment can reduce the risk of relapse and promotes long-term sustainable recovery.

If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse and mental health challenges, reach out to our West Virginia or Delaware dual diagnosis treatment centers today. At Lotus Recovery Centers, we’re ready to meet you where you are and help you rebuild your life. Contact us at 833.922.1615 to learn more.

What to Expect in Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Individuals in a dual diagnosis treatment program will receive support and medical care to help them work through both addiction and mental health issues.

They might receive a prescription for medication that will relieve the symptoms of depression or withdrawal symptoms during detox. In addition, they will participate in group and individual therapy, where they’ll learn about healthy coping skills and strategies so they can avoid relapse.

At Lotus Recovery Centers, we use medication-assisted treatment in tandem with addiction treatment therapies. Used together, these approaches to treatment can help those in recovery reclaim their lives from substance abuse.

Benefits of Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Substance abuse can exacerbate existing mental health issues, and vice versa. Some individuals might begin to drink heavily in order to cope with feelings of anxiety or symptoms of PTSD. On the other hand, someone who begins abusing prescription painkillers might develop a newfound struggle with depression. This can turn into a dangerous cycle that is hard to break out of.

Some treatment centers will offer only treatment for addiction without addressing co-occurring mental health concerns. However, if an individual leaves treatment without coping skills to manage their mental health, they could be more prone to relapse.
