Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers

Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers

Living with a mental illness is one of the main reasons why people turn to drugs or alcohol. The primary issue is that most people living with a mental illness never receive a diagnosis of the problem. Specifically, when you experience thoughts and emotions that you can’t understand or deal with, it’s extremely difficult. This is why you may turn to substances and develop an addiction. However, dual diagnosis treatment centers can help.

Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers?

There are many different reasons why people develop an addiction, from genetics to environmental factors. In fact, the leading reason is mental illness. Therefore, people begin to try to self-medicate with alcohol or drugs. While the symptoms may subside for a little while, they eventually come back stronger than ever. Some of the main mental illnesses that people struggle with that lead to substance abuse include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • PTSD
  • ADHD
  • Borderline personality disorder
Dual diagnosis treatment centers help you by treating both your mental illness and addiction. This is an important factor in the addiction treatment process because it’s difficult to stay clean if only one aspect is treated. When you’re still experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other illnesses, it’s almost impossible to stay clean. Moreover, one of the leading causes of relapse is when a person’s mental illness isn’t treated properly.

What Happens in Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers?

Dual diagnosis addiction treatment programs help you by giving you a wide range of tools to help you manage your life. While you’ll go through many therapies, specifically for your addiction, you’ll also receive mental health treatment. For example, anxiety treatment is meant to help you learn how to manage your anxiety without having to turn to substances. A quality facility is going to introduce you to various techniques to help you manage your mental illness.

Psychotherapy

While you’re in treatment, you’ll also go through various forms of psychotherapy with a professional. It’s important to meet with someone on an individual basis to work through different forms of mental illness. Trauma can be one of the main sources of your anxiety, and psychotherapy can help greatly. In some cases, you may have certain imbalances in which non-narcotic medications can help.

Silver Pines Treatment Center is an addiction treatment program that offers addiction therapy for those with mental illnesses. When you’re here, you’ll receive a full psychological evaluation that may uncover an underlying mental illness.

In fact, many people who come to treatment never knew they had a mental illness. We offer both men’s and women’s programs to help anyone who walks through our doors. Some of the various forms of therapies we offer here include:
