Dual Diagnosis
Often times, drug and alcohol issues run concurrently with mental health conditions. This is what’s known as a dual diagnosis. Psychological and emotional maladies often lead to alcohol and drug addiction problems. Drug addiction problems are also known to cause and/or trigger mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. When treating addiction, it’s often necessary to treat co-occurring disorders simultaneously. Click here for more information.

Addiction Explained
Addiction is complex, but can most simply be stated as the participation in an act that is psychologically and/or physically habit-forming. In the case of alcohol and drug addiction, the continued involvement with the substance or substances of abuse is continued despite adverse consequences associated with the acts of consumption. In terms of alcohol and drug abuse, addiction is becoming more widely accepted as a disease, rather than simply a behavioral problem.
