How Mental Health and Addiction are Related: Dual Diagnosis

Sometimes, mental health disorders are misdiagnosed or left untreated. We all experience different moods on a regular basis and usually don’t attribute them to any form of instability, so it can be difficult to detect when something is wrong. When mental health problems do occur, symptoms may appear suddenly or gradually, making it hard to identify a specific cause or reason. This can make psychiatric disorders difficult to recognize and cause many people to leave them undiagnosed, and therefore untreated.

When mental health disorders are left untreated, some individuals find their own ways to cope with their symptoms, such as “self-medicating” with drugs and alcohol. This includes both illicit drugs like cocaine or heroin, as well as prescription medications designed to address a particular illness or disorder. While abusing these substances may provide temporary relief from a variety of symptoms, long-term use may lead to addiction and physical dependence.

Long-term substance abuse can also lead to or exacerbate mental health problems by drastically altering brain chemistry. When the body becomes accustomed to functioning with an intoxicant in its system, the change in brain chemistry can trigger the onset of depression, anxiety or compulsive disorders in those who may not have had them before or worsen the symptoms of existing conditions.

For these reasons, it is not uncommon for someone to experience co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, otherwise known as a dual diagnosis. For those with co-occurring diagnoses to fully recover and go on to live a fulfilled life, it is vital to heal the underlying issues that lead to more significant problems. Generally, this starts with the treatment of mental health disorders and leads to care for drug and alcohol abuse.

At Avalon Malibu, we know how essential it is to seek treatment for both diagnoses at once. Our facility is licensed to treat both mental and substance use disorders, giving you the resources you need to find sobriety for life and remain motivated to improve your self-confidence.

Our team of specialists is here to get to know you and understand your unique needs, which will allow them to design a treatment plan addressing your mental health and substance abuse concerns in a way that you can appreciate and value. When you receive comprehensive treatment, you will be much better equipped to stay on your path of recovery for the rest of your life.
