It used to be that therapy for drug or alcohol addiction was done separately from therapy for the treatment of mental health disorders. Consequently many people who suffered from depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc. never received treatment for their substance abuse – and vice versa. Unfortunately, if left untreated, underlying mental health disorders can lead to chronic relapse. And untreated addictive disorders can lead to worsening mental health disorders. This often results in stalled or unsuccessful treatment. So treating all of what is wrong through co-occurring disorders therapy is imperative.
At Life Care Wellness, we understand the importance of treating the whole person. We treat addictive disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders at the same time, increasing success rates and quality of life.
