Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis refers to the condition where an individual experiences both a substance use disorder (drug or alcohol addiction) and a co-occurring mental health disorder, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. Treating both conditions simultaneously is crucial because one often exacerbates the other.
Why Dual Diagnosis Treatment Is Important
- Mental health issues can increase the risk of substance abuse.
- Substance abuse can worsen or trigger mental health symptoms.
- Treating only one condition without addressing the other often leads to relapse or incomplete recovery.
