Many people who suffer from addiction also suffer from what’s called a ‘co-occurring disorder,’ meaning that the addiction coincides with a mental or behavioral health disorder. Statistically, about half of those suffering from a mental disorder will also experience addiction at some point in their lives and vice versa.
Some common mental health disorders that are frequently experienced alongside substance use disorder include Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD), Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Schizophrenia, and more. Common risk factors that may contribute to either behavioral health and substance use disorders include genetics, trauma, and stress.
WHY IS DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT NEEDED?
There are times where mental health disorders lead to substance use disorder, and it is also common for an addiction to lead to a mental health disorder. Conversely, there are also many cases in which these co-occurring disorders do not cause the other – they simply exist together.
The co-occurring disorders, therefore, need to be addressed and resolved both separately and together. The main goal of treatment is to understand the ‘why’ behind your disorder. Therefore, with co-occurring disorders, it is essential to gain an understanding of the ‘why’ behind both the addiction as well as the mental health disorder.
Prevail Recovery Center, a dual diagnosis treatment center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offers patients the best possible care for treating co-occurring disorders. The incredible staff at our boutique treatment center believes in treating the mind, body, and soul of our patients, which is extremely important when treating those with a dual diagnosis.
PREVAIL RECOVERY CENTER
Dual diagnosis treatment is a method of treatment that separately addresses both a mental health disorder and substance use disorder. The interaction between the two conditions make rehabilitation slightly more complex given that there are two separate conditions that a person must recover from. Dual diagnosis is also complex because there is a higher risk of adverse health effects to arise if the disorders are not treated properly.
It is likely for dual diagnosis patients to respond to treatment differently than those only suffering solely from an addiction. For a person to achieve long lasting recovery, it is essential that the personality or emotional disorder is treated along with the addiction by medical professionals who specialize in dual diagnosis treatment. Prior to the 1990’s, clinicians concluded that there was to be a separate division for those suffering from mental health disorders and for those suffering from addiction. This was referred to as ‘sequential treatment,’ meaning that patients would not be eligible to be treated for one disorder until the other was resolved. Sequential treatment was later studied, and it was concluded that relapse was more common in patients that were treated by rehabs using this methodology.
Our approach to treating patients at our dual diagnosis treatment center in South Florida involves a team of expert professionals who specialize in treating co-occurring disorders who aim to help these patients make a full recovery from both disorders by addressing them simultaneously. Properly treating a patient with a co-occurring disorder is vital to a person’s long-term recovery and risk of relapse.
At Prevail Recovery Center, we know how important it is to acknowledge and understand that patients may be suffering from both a behavioral health disorder as well as substance use disorder. The key to achieving long-lasting recovery and maintaining an addiction-free life is to put in the work to address a person’s disorder head on, the first time around. Running the risk of relapse is something that we do not take lightly, and we therefore take extra measures to ensure that our patients are diagnosed properly, that way they can be treated properly.
