If an individual has substance abuse and mental health issues, just addiction treatment or just mental health disorder treatment, does not treat the whole person. This can be a problem, as it can often lead to relapse at a later date. 

Treatment for co-occurring disorders focuses on getting to the root cause of addiction and asking the question “why” a person has turned to alcohol addiction or drug abuse. 

Our co-occuring disorder treatment center takes those with an alcohol or drug substance use disorder and provides dual diagnosis treatments and therapy sessions that get to the root cause of addiction/ This program works on treating the whole person — body, spirit and mind. 

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), many people who develop a substance use disorder also have an underlying mental health disorder. Nearly half of those who experience a mental health disorder also experience substance abuse and nearly half of those who experience a substance use disorder also experience a mental illness. 

Some of these mental disorders include: 

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Personality Disorders
• And more

Because of this, treating both issues is key. Riveredge Hospital, located in Forest Park, Illonois is here to provide co-occurring substance use and mental health treatment for those in need. 

Whether or not treatment works depends on each patient’s commitment to positive outcomes. However, a co-occurring disorders program will provide the tools, skills and education necessary for those seeking treatment to work towards recovery. 

Co-occurring disorders can have a long-term effect on overall health as this disorder can cause an increase a person’s risk of stroke, liver cirrhosis, cancer and other serious health conditions.
