Dual-Diagnosis, otherwise known as Co-Occurring Disorders, is the term used to describe a situation when an individual struggling with a substance abuse disorder also has a mental illness. At Opus Health, we use dual-diagnosis treatment to help you treat your mental health disorder without using dangerous substances.
The term “Dual-Diagnosis” can pertain to a broad spectrum of mental illnesses and addictions. Whether the addiction or mental illness becomes present first, the two can often be seen hand-in-hand. Substance misuse can worsen mental disorders. Additionally, some people who experience mild to severe mental illnesses can turn to drugs or alcohol to cope, and a vicious cycle can begin.
When you arrive at our drug treatment center, you will be surrounded by knowledgeable staff who desire to help you transition from drug or alcohol addiction to lasting sobriety.
Because many of our treatment team have firsthand experience with addiction, we can relate to the devastation addiction caused for you and your loved ones. We focus on what’s important, without judgment, so our clients can pour all their available resources into recovery from addiction.
At Opus Health, we understand that dual-diagnosis treatment is essential for anyone diagnosed with a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. It is vital to get help for both of the issues, not just address one of them.
If you have been previously diagnosed with a co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder, then dual-diagnosis treatment is right for you. To be sure it’s the best treatment option, you can:
