Addiction is a disease that rarely occurs in isolation. In fact, the majority of addicts also suffer from some form of psychological disorder, foremost among them depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorder. Successful addiction treatment will address both addiction and any disorders associated with it, which is why dual diagnosis is so important in the substance abuse recovery process. Dual diagnosis embraces a holistic vision of substance abuse rehabilitation, one that emphasizes healing the entire addict instead of merely addressing his or her symptoms.

If you or someone you care about is a victim of depression and addiction, dual diagnosis treatment may well be the last best chance you’ve got. The good news is that our compassionate intake coordinators are here to help. All you have to do is find the courage and strength to reach out for support.
