South Dakota Dual Diagnosis Rehab Centers

Mental illness and addiction have a relationship that is unlike any other. These two conditions can be devastating to a person and their family, and they can have long-term effects on a person’s physical health. When a person is diagnosed with a mental illness as well as with addiction, they are considered to be a dual diagnosis patient. This means that they need to seek the help of qualified professionals at a dual diagnosis rehab center in order to achieve the recovery success that they deserve.

While there is no data available for the number of residents who are clinically depressed or experiencing severe psychological trauma in the state of South Dakota, it is important to note that the people of South Dakota may still be impacted by both mental illness and addiction. The higher the rates of depression are within a state, the more likely it is that people are suffering from both mental illness and addiction at the same time. Even those who are not diagnosed with a clinical mental condition may be predisposed to addiction. Researchers have found that South Dakota residents reported they spent less than 3 days each month feeling mentally unwell. Even a short episode with anxiety or depression can spark a lifelong addiction that is difficult to overcome.

Dual Diagnosis Explained

The relationship between mental health and addiction is complex and intricate. It is not easy to define why one condition may result in the other, or vice versa, but medical professionals are beginning to understand the bigger picture when it comes to both types of disease. In some situations, mental illness may be the trigger for an addiction. Mental illness symptoms are not easy to define and can quickly spin out of control for an individual, who may feel lost and hopeless. Many people end up self-medicating, and are unable to break the cycle. In other cases, a person who is prone to substance abuse may begin to experience the initial symptoms of mental illness during a time when they are drinking alcohol or using drugs. The symptoms of mental illness can increase with the use of drugs and alcohol, which is what makes dual diagnosis especially dangerous. If you think you may be struggling with a mental illness or addiction, talk to a friend or family member. Keeping secrets can be detrimental. A dual diagnosis is nothing to be ashamed of and many people have successfully recovered from one.
