Best Practices for Managing Co-Occurring Disorders
Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders
Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, occur when mental health disorders, such as anxiety or depression, coexist with substance use issues. Understanding the complex relationship between these disorders is vital for effective treatment. Often, individuals turn to substances as a form of self-medication, creating a vicious cycle that exacerbates their conditions.
Comprehensive Assessment
The first step in recovery is a thorough assessment to gauge an individual’s mental health and substance use history. At Riviera Living, we conduct detailed evaluations to understand the complete picture, allowing us to craft personalized treatment plans tailored to each resident’s specific needs.
