Dual Diagnosis Disorders We Treat
The coexistence of mental health and a substance use disorder is called dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Either disorder (drug addiction, mental disorders) can develop first. Despite this, dual disorders can interact and make each other worse.
Luckily, dual diagnosis treatment is our specialty. Southeast Detox is fully equipped to tackle co-occurring disorders as a leader in addiction treatment and mental health recovery. Our dual diagnosis treatment centers raise the bar. From detoxification to sober living, our treatment services meet your unique needs.
Depression
Depression is a medical condition that affects the brain and is more than just feeling sad for a few days. It’s a serious illness that consumes your daily life. In the U.S., more than 20 million people have depression, and it doesn’t go away on its own. In severe cases, it can lead to suicidal ideation.
There is a strong link between depression and substance abuse. Many people with depression self-medicate with drink or drugs to boost their mood or escape feelings of guilt or misery. Alcohol is the most prevalent drug for depressed individuals, but this doesn’t have to include you.

Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or fear about something that might happen in the future. The complex disorder can cause physical symptoms such as a racing heart or sweating.
Anxiety and substance abuse can look alike, making it tough to know if someone has anxiety or addiction problems. People with anxiety may turn to alcohol or pills as coping mechanisms. The temporary fix that substances provide increases the adverse side effects with more use. Our treatment facility offers a lifetime solution.

Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition affecting a person’s thinking, behavior, and emotions. It is a psychotic disorder that can cause a person to lose touch with reality. The disorder can cause them to hear things that aren’t there, believe things that aren’t true, and have trouble doing everyday things.
People with schizophrenia often turn to drugs and alcohol, making their symptoms worse and making it harder to treat their illnesses. Addiction and not sticking to a med routine never end well. Southeast Detox wants to help you reclaim your life.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder is a two-faced mental illness that affects a person’s mood, causing extreme highs and ultra-lows. Substance use can also trigger or worsen mood episodes in people with bipolar disorder. In addition, there may be a genetic or environmental link between bipolar disorder and substance use disorders.
It’s not easy to manage. Bipolar wants to break you down. That’s why our compassionate clinicians and proven treatment services go the distance.
Personality Disorders (BPD)
Personality disorders are mental illnesses where a person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions aren’t considered normal. These mood difficulties are usually constant across situations, harming relationships and personal care.
Affected individuals may be more likely to fall into drug or alcohol addiction due to their unstable emotions, discomfort, or impulsiveness. Self-medication as a coping skill is a cycle that worsens mental health issues. Individuals reliant on drugs or alcohol are also more resistant to attending therapy.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder occurs from witnessing or experiencing shocking and dangerous events. Triggers include physical violence, sexual assault, military combat, natural disasters, or serious accidents.
PTSD is a chronic type of anxiety disorder. PTSD can cause intense feelings of fear, anxiety, and depression. PTSD can affect a person’s ability to function in their daily life. Individuals often grow distant from loved ones, develop multiple addictions, and use substances to numb their trauma. Southeast Detox is the treatment facility to tame trauma and heal with the best healing therapies and programs.
