Connecticut Dual Diagnosis Rehab Centers

For years, people have known that there are those in their community who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. However, it’s only in the most recent decades that medical professionals have started to realize that there is a complex relationship between mental illness and addiction. This relationship, which can vary based on the individual and their own personal conditions and life experiences, can lead to many different complications in life and can make it very difficult to overcome addiction. Today, many rehab centers have modified their services to become dual diagnosis rehab centers that treat both mental illnesses as well as addiction in order to help patients realize the best results possible.

Mental Illness in Connecticut

In Connecticut, mental illness is an issue that the state government is looking at closely. For instance, less than 7 percent of people have been diagnosed with clinical depression in this state and less than 7 percent of residents are considered to be under extreme psychological distress. However, between 3 and 4 days each month, Connecticut residents report that they feel mentally unhealthy or mentally unstable. This means that mental health does, in fact, play a factor in the number of addicts that there are in the state. Even those who have not been diagnosed with mental illness may try to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol, and this can lead to larger problems down the line. Drugs and alcohol can increase the symptoms associated with mental illness, and it can be easier for someone who suffers from mental illness to become addicted.

Comprehensive Care For Dual Diagnosis

In many cases, mental illness is an underlying cause of addiction. Someone who is suffering from bipolar disorder or postpartum depression may not understand that they have a mental illness, and will not go to a doctor for treatment. Instead, they try to make themselves feel better by drinking or abusing drugs, and before they know it they are addicted to these substances. Given the complex relationship between mental illness and addiction, it can be difficult for people to break the cycle on their own. This is why many people look to dual diagnosis rehab centers in order to start on their recovery journey.

A dual diagnosis rehab center is a specialized addiction treatment center that offers both treatment services for mental illness and addiction. A traditional rehab center may only focus on the physical side effects of withdrawal and the mental therapy that is needed to overcome addiction, but patients will not be diagnosed or treated for mental conditions. Those who suffer from mental illnesses may not be successful if they opt to go to a traditional center, because they won’t be getting the comprehensive care that they need to truly address their issues.
