Mental health issues play a large role in many addictions. When you struggle with both substance abuse and mental illness, this is known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Addicts may struggle with psychological issues, such as:
·
A mood disorder, including major depression or
bipolar disorder
·
An anxiety disorder, including generalized
anxiety disorder
·
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
·
Borderline personality disorder
· ADHD
At The Meadows, we understand the seriousness of dual diagnosis. In a safe and nurturing community composed of their peers, individuals are guided on their journey of recovery by examining the underlying causes of addiction and co-occurring disorders.
Additional dual diagnosis interventions include:
·
