UNDERSTANDING CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS
Why Dual Diagnosis Matters in Addiction Treatment
Here at Taylor Recovery, we understand that substance abuse and mental health disorders often go hand in hand. These co-occurring disorders can make addiction treatment more complex, but recognizing and addressing both is key to a successful recovery.
Know that “co-occurring disorders” refer to mental health conditions that occur alongside drug or alcohol addiction. Some of the common mental health disorders that may accompany substance use include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders. Young adults are especially vulnerable, with between 60% and 75% of adolescents with substance use disorders also experiencing mental health conditions. Some of the most common mental health disorders that co-occur with substance abuse include:
- Bipolar Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Panic Disorder
- Depression
- Schizophrenia
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
It’s important to note that the symptoms of mental health disorders and substance use may not always present simultaneously. Sometimes, underlying conditions may only become apparent during addiction treatment. Additionally, withdrawal symptoms can sometimes mask or mimic mental health symptoms, making it harder to distinguish between the two.
Taylor Recovery specializes in Dual Diagnosis Treatment, which combines mental health care with substance abuse treatment. This approach helps identify any underlying disorders, ensuring that both your addiction and mental health are properly addressed for a full recovery.
