Sometimes, it’s hard to know what came first—the addiction or the mental health struggle like depression or anxiety.
That’s because depression, for example, can lead to addiction. And addiction can lead to depression.
The thing is, it doesn’t really matter what came first. What matters is getting better.
The Best Dual Diagnosis Treatment Centers
There are thousands of addiction treatment centers across the United States—and a huge range in quality. Some just want your money, while others are run by people who have dedicated their lives to the mission.
What that means, practically speaking, is that some rehabs will help you make it through the withdrawal period, declare you better and walk you out the door.
Research shows that usually doesn’t work.
That’s because so many people struggling with addiction are also struggling with a co-occurring condition. And it doesn’t work to fix one—and then tackle the other. Both need to be addressed and treated at the same time.
And that’s where the term dual-diagnosis treatment comes in. Like so many Americans, you may not even know that you struggle with depression or PTSD. At the best dual diagnosis treatment centers, every person who is admitted is screened for co-occurring conditions.
Addiction is a complex issue. It’s not a moral failing or a lack of will power. Top dual diagnosis treatment centers have the tools—and take the time—to sort through it all.
The goal, after all, isn’t just to be sober. It’s to be a healthy, happy person who can look to the future with hope.
