"Approximately half of all patients who attend addiction rehab centers receive a dual diagnosis. The therapeutic modalities that dual diagnosis treatment centers use are unique to each client. People with co-occurring disorders should receive well-rounded care that teaches them how to manage the symptoms of their psychological illness without turning to drugs. The types of conditions that often go hand-in-hand with addiction include:
ADHD
Depression
Severe anxiety
Bipolar disorder
Personality disorders
Medical professionals used to think that individuals with an addiction had to get sober before treating their mental illness. However, treating these conditions without considering both doesn"t work."
