People with addiction issues often have other mental health concerns such as anxiety. depression, stress, bipolar disorder, etc. This is called a co-occurring disorder (also known as dual diagnosis) where substance abuse and mental health issues are present together. To recover successfully from an addiction, it is crucial to treat the mental health issue (s) as well as the addiction, which is what we do at Advantage Mental Health. Treatment with medication and counseling/behavioral therapy allows you to live their lives while overcoming addiction — you can still work, attend school, or participate in family events with our outpatient services.
