What is San Diego Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment?

San Diego co-occurring disorder treatment is a form of drug and alcohol rehab that also provides therapy and holistic care for an underlying mental health disorder.

Studies indicate that over nine million people struggle with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. 

This can happen in many ways:

Clients might have a diagnosis and be well aware that they struggle with something like depression or anxiety, but they haven't received treatment for it, or if they have, treatment has been ineffective. 

In certain situations, there's a misdiagnosis. This is most common in people with bipolar disorder who seek treatment during a depressive episode and are misdiagnosed as having a depressive disorder. When medications don't work, it can leave clients looking for other things.

Those who are undiagnosed, diagnosed with untreated, or even misdiagnosed are at risk for trying to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol. This can quickly lead to an addiction.

For other clients, everything happens in reverse. They start with the development of a substance abuse disorder, which causes things like chemical changes in the brain. The result is that clients develop secondary mental health disorders like depression or anxiety.

Types of Co-Occurring Disorders

There are several combinations of mental health disorders and specific substance abuse disorders.

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder is often treated with alcohol or marijuana to try and slow down or diminish the compulsions and obsessions
  • Generalized anxiety disorder is often mixed with benzodiazepine abuse, alcoholism, or cocaine addiction to try and avoid the severity of symptoms or to mask them temporarily, especially in front of others
  • PTSD often occurs in conjunction with addiction to sleeping pills, alcohol, or benzodiazepines to try and relieve things like nightmares, hypervigilance, and insomnia
  • It’s not uncommon for individuals with depression to struggle with addiction to alcohol as it can temporarily mask symptoms of a depressive mood
  • Similarly, people with bipolar disorder can struggle with alcoholism or cocaine abuse depending on whether they are struggling with a depressive or manic cycle

These only represent the most common dual diagnosis services, but no matter the underlying mental health disorder or substance to which you are addicted, it’s essential that you find professional help from a co-occurring disorder treatment center in San Diego.

The Importance of Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment with the Center For Progressive Wellness

It is essential that you get professional treatment at our San Diego co-occurring disorder center if you or someone in your family is struggling with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders.

Without proper care, there are several risks, such as:

  • Failure to complete a program
  • Completing a program but relapsing
  • Self-medicating after treatment

Mental health conditions and substance abuse play off one another in the body and the mind. If you only seek treatment for one of these issues, you are failing to treat the other half of the problem, and this can cause symptoms to re-emerge, especially for mental health disorders that were pretty existing. It can also make it more likely that individuals will try to self-medicate in the future.

Rather than seeking treatment for part of the problem, dual diagnosis in San Diego offers an opportunity to participate in individual and group therapy as well as medication management for both aspects of the problem, providing a whole-person approach to recovery.  

Parents can trust our reliable staff to offer things like teen-specific programs that enable us to provide custom care for some of the most vulnerable communities.

Addiction does not only impact the person using substances; it also has a profound impact in their family.  Financial hardship, increased risk of emotional and physical abuse, neglect, and severed family ties are only a few of the possible devastating effects of addiction.

In the Center for Progressive Wellness, we believe that strong, healthy, and meaningful relationships are the foundation of the recovery process.   We provide family support to help heal these relationships in various ways, including multi-family counseling and education sessions, individual family therapy, case management, and referral to valuable resources for the family.
