How a Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center Can Help Fight Addiction By Matt Brindisi
When someone is going through drug addiction as well as depression, it can be quite a convincing disaster if they don’t get the help that they need. They will deteriorate psychologically, physically, mentally and spiritually. Both depression and drug addiction has its own symptoms that get in the way of someone’s capability to efficiently function as normally as possible. The person not only is affected by both symptoms of the illnesses, but also each symptom interacts with the other causing the situation to appear worse than it already is. Due to the extent of the illness through its interaction, the person may have relapses after going through treatment at dual diagnosis treatment centers because of the challenges it brings. The illnesses might aggravate each other and because of that, it is more than likely that the person will experience relapse. There are occasions when the overlapping of these symptoms cause the diagnosis to be difficult because it is masked by the appearance of something else or the therapist did not know or see it coming. This is why a therapist has to have all the facts when the person enters the dual diagnosis treatment centers. Without the right information, the therapist is not able to administer the correct treatment plan and one of those addictions will go unnoticed or untreated. A doctor or well trained psychiatrist will be able to diagnose any mental problems that the addict may be having. It is significant that if you believe that a person that you are acquainted with has problems with drug or alcohol addiction and is also showing symptoms of mental illness, then the person needs to be appropriately assessed, reviewed and treated. To know the signs and symptoms to look for in someone who is abusing alcohol or drugs, you should enlist these features: • Sudden changes in their normal work pattern, low attendance in school, low grades, undisciplined, and disorganized • Angry outburst and bad temper tantrums • Isolation • Don’t want to take responsibility for actions • Bad hygiene and appearance • Change in personality and attitude • Influenced by friends and drug addicts • Borrowing cash • Stealing and lying The symptoms and signs of mental illness to look for in a friend or family member are: • Hallucination • Bipolar disorder • Anxiety • Depression • Eating disorders • Schizophrenia You should be aware that the signs of mental illness in a drug addict vary when it comes to a person who is suffering only from mental illness. Dual diagnosis treatment centers have proven that there are other issues that arise from having two types of addictions. The person will have problems with the family as well as personal problems in relationships. They will be socially withdrawn from the public. Financial issues will arise as well as employment problems. Behavior and attitude will change. Some people will end up being homeless and in need of medical services. Professionals at many dual diagnosis treatment centers have realized that most people end up in their situation because of various reasons that sometimes cannot be explained.
