When a person has a mental health condition with addiction, it is harder to beat addiction without proper treatment. Dual diagnosis treatment is an approach that simultaneously addresses addiction and mental health issues. Designed to improve chances of staying sober, dual diagnosis addiction treatment is an integral part of Colorado Addiction Recovery Services’s rehab program.
Recent research shows that at least 9 million people in the United States have a co-occurring disorder with addiction.[1] Both mental health issues and addiction are chronic brain disorders. For some people, a mental health issue leads to substance misuse. For instance, if a person has anxiety and suffers unpleasant effects, the individual may drink or take opioids. If a person feels depressed and exhausted, the individual may misuse a stimulant drug.
Cravings can still happen after treatment, but properly treating an unmet mental health need can reduce relapse risks. If a mental health condition remains untreated, a person may wind up relapsing multiple times. We focus on treating addiction and mental health needs at our state-of-the-art facility. We provide excellent care and compassionate support as people recover at Colorado Addiction Recovery Services.
