Mental Health Is Treatable

Addiction can pose severe threats to one’s mental well-being, and those dealing with an addiction often battle comorbid mental health issues as well. The National Institute on Drug Abuse findings uncover that nearly half of people with substance abuse disorders also have diagnosed mental illnesses, leading to a co-occurring disorder. This dual diagnosis poses a challenge for recovery because the symptoms of one issue often worsen the other, thus making recovery efforts more difficult. Therefore, it is essential for individuals struggling with addiction and a co-occurring disorder to get medically assisted treatment from qualified professionals to gain control over both conditions and recovery from them.

Dual diagnosis treatment is essential in recovery for those with co-occurring disorders. Mental illnesses and addictions can be treated simultaneously through medication, intensive therapy, recovery programs, and support groups. It is essential to understand that each individual’s disorder is unique, requiring a tailored recovery plan to optimize their recovery journey. Fortunately, there are numerous resources readily available both online and on-site that provide the necessary support and guidance needed to help individuals with these conditions. Seeking assistance can be daunting in itself, but it could make a world of difference on their path toward recovery.

Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis is a term used to describe when someone experiences a mental health condition and a substance use disorder simultaneously. It’s important to note that dual diagnosis is different from having co-occurring disorders, which is when someone has two different mental health conditions. Both dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders are relatively common, affecting millions of people around the world.

Dual diagnosis can be difficult to deal with because it’s not always clear which condition is causing which symptoms. This can make treatment complicated and can often make a person feel like they’re not getting the help they need. It’s important to seek professional assistance if you think you might be dealing with a dual diagnosis to get the treatment you deserve.

Several different factors can contribute to dual diagnosis. It’s often the case that someone who experiences a traumatic event or has a family history of mental illness is more likely to develop a mental health condition themselves. Substance abuse can also increase the risk of developing a mental health condition, as can certain medical conditions like brain injuries.

It’s also worth noting that some substances can cause or worsen existing mental health conditions. For example, marijuana use has been linked to an increased risk of psychosis, while alcohol abuse can worsen symptoms of depression and anxiety. Stimulant drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine are also known to cause or worsen psychosis.

Treating dual diagnosis can be difficult because it’s not always clear which condition is causing which symptoms. In some cases, it may be necessary to treat both conditions simultaneously to achieve the best possible outcome. In other cases, it may be necessary to treat one condition first in order to get a better handle on the other.

The most important thing is that you seek professional help if you think you might be dealing with a dual diagnosis. Our team will be able to assess your individual situation and come up with a treatment plan that’s right for you. Don’t try to go it alone—get the help you need so that you can start feeling better today.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal emotion that we all feel at one point or another. It’s what we feel when we’re faced with a challenging situation, and it’s our body’s way of preparing us to deal with that situation. However, for some people, anxiety can become so overwhelming that it interferes with their ability to live a normal, healthy life. If you’re struggling with anxiety, know that you’re not alone, and help is available.

There are many different types of anxiety disorders, each with its own set of symptoms. Some of the most common include:

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): People with GAD feel anxious most days, often for no apparent reason. They may worry excessively about their health, their finances, or other aspects of their life. Physical symptoms of GAD include fatigue, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping.

Social anxiety disorder: Also known as social phobia, social anxiety disorder is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can make it very difficult to interact with others or even leave the house. Symptoms include sweating, racing heart, and a feeling like you’re being watched or judged.

Panic disorder: People with panic disorder experience sudden, unexpected attacks of terror (called panic attacks). These can happen at any time and can be very frightening. During a panic attack, you may feel like you’re having a heart attack or that you’re going to die. Other physical symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

If you’re struggling with an anxiety disorder, there is hope. There are many effective treatments available that can help you manage your symptoms and live a normal life. Some of the most common treatments include medication (such as antidepressants), therapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy), and relaxation techniques (such as yoga or meditation).

If you’re struggling with anxiety, know that you’re not alone and help is available. There are many different types of anxiety disorders, each with its own set of symptoms. However, many effective treatments can also help you manage your symptoms and live a normal life. So don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you need it.

Depression

Depression is a mental health condition that is characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities that you used to enjoy. It can impact your ability to work, study, eat, and sleep. Many people with depression also have symptoms of anxiety. You may feel like you can’t shake the blues, no matter what you do.

It can impact your ability to work, study, eat, and sleep. Many people with depression also have symptoms of anxiety. You may feel like you can’t shake the blues, no matter what you do.

Depression does not have one single cause. Rather, it is often the result of a combination of factors, including biological factors (genetics), psychological factors (mood and personality), and environmental factors (stressful life events).

Biological Factors: There appears to be a link between depression and an imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and they help regulate mood. An imbalance of neurotransmitters may be due to a genetic predisposition or changes in hormone levels.

Psychological Factors: People with low self-esteem or perfectionists tend to be more vulnerable to depression. People who have experienced trauma or abuse are also at increased risk.

Environmental Factors: Stressful life events, such as the death of a loved one or losing your job, can trigger depression. Having a chronic medical condition can also lead to depression.

Symptoms of Depression
The most common symptoms of depression include:
-Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness
-Loss of interest in activities that you used to enjoy
-Insomnia or sleeping too much
-Fatigue or loss of energy
-Changes in appetite
-Anxiety or restlessness
-Irritability or anger
-Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
– Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

These symptoms can vary in severity from person to person. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek help from a mental health professional. Depression is treatable, and there are many effective treatments available. With treatment, most people with depression will experience significant improvement in their symptoms.

Trauma

Many people are afraid to re-live painful experiences, but trauma therapy requires a surface view of these events and a recognition that you are not defined by your past, nor does your life moving forward need to be dictated by it.

Therapy for traumas can be difficult to revisit old pain, but viewing these events separately from yourself is essential. By doing so, you realize that your past doesn’t control who you are or what your life will become.

Too often, we allow our past experiences to control us and dictate how we live our lives. This can lead to a constant feeling of fear or shame. However, working through these experiences in a safe space where you don’t have to worry about reliving them is possible. At Liberty House Recovery, our trauma therapy helps people disassociate from the painful memories of their past so they can move on with their lives.

We want our clients to have a healthy relationship with their past and present experiences. Many of our clients are undergoing individual therapy and may not be aware that they have experienced trauma in the past. Our job is to help them work through these experiences comfortably, addressing their significance in our clients’ lives and how they understand their impact on current behaviors.

Many of us experience trauma from our interactions with family members throughout childhood and adulthood. These experiences can threaten the safe space we try to create for ourselves and hinder our personal growth. Some events might make us more resilient, but others can inhibit our progress.

While family and home life instability is often the origin of these issues for children, trauma can come from various experiences. Examples include active combat, grief, sexual abuse as a child or adult, struggles at school, and exposure to domestic violence. However, Liberty House Recovery offers traumatic therapy that addresses these deep-seated problems.

Grief/Loss

Grief is the natural response of pain and sadness that accompanies loss. Our natural reaction is to avoid the pain associated with grief, although everyone approaches this differently.

At some point in our lives, we will all experience grief and loss. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or something else entirely, grief is a natural and normal response to loss. While it’s impossible to avoid grief completely, there are things we can do to make the process a little bit easier. Here are some tips from Liberty House Recovery on how to cope with grief and loss.

1. Acknowledge your pain.
One of the most important things you can do when grieving is to acknowledge your pain. It’s okay to cry, to be angry, or to feel scared. Let yourself feel whatever it is you’re feeling—don’t try to bottle it up or push it away. Recognizing and accepting your emotions is an important step in the grieving process.

2. Reach out for support.
Grief can be extremely isolating, but it’s important to remember that you don’t have to go through it alone. Talk to your friends and family members, join a support group, or see a therapist. Just knowing that there are people who care about you and want to help can make a world of difference.

3. Take care of yourself.
It’s easy to neglect your own needs when you’re grieving, but it’s important to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. Make sure you eat healthy meals, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Also, be sure to give yourself time and space to grieve—don’t try to push through it too quickly.

Grief is a natural and normal response to loss, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to deal with. If you’re currently grieving, know that you’re not alone—there are people who care about you and want to help. Be sure to take care of yourself physically and emotionally during this difficult time, and reach out for support when needed. Liberty House Recovery can help you through this tough time—give us a call today at 909-402-0797 for more information on our grief counseling services.

PTSD

Addiction and mental health disorders often go hand-in-hand. In fact, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, about half of all people with a substance use disorder also have a mental health disorder.

One of the most common mental health disorders that co-occurs with addiction is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a condition that can develop after someone has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault.

People with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety. They may also feel detached from others and have difficulty sleeping or concentrating. As a result of these symptoms, people with PTSD may turn to substances as a way to self-medicate.

Fortunately, there are effective treatments for PTSD that can help people in recovery from addiction. One of the most promising therapies for PTSD is called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

EMDR is a type of therapy that uses eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help people process and heal from trauma. EMDR has been found to be an effective treatment for PTSD, and it may also be helpful for treating other mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction and PTSD, know that there is help available. There are many effective treatments for both conditions, and with the right help, recovery is possible.
