POSSIBLE SIGNS OF A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
It can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between casual alcohol and drug use and a real problem. Though each case is unique and everyone won’t experience the same warning signs, here are some of the most common indicators that you need addiction or dual diagnosis treatment:
- You have driven a car while high or intoxicated
- Friends and family frequently bring up concerns about your drinking and drug habits
- You experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking drugs
- You’ve tried to quit but have been unsuccessful
- You begin to experience health problems caused by alcohol or drug use
- You’ve lied about your drinking or drug use
- Drinking or drug use has caused you to lose your job or be expelled from school
- You’ve harmed yourself or others due to alcohol and drugs
OUR DUAL DIAGNOSIS APPROACH
We proudly use a dual diagnosis approach that blends mental health care and substance use disorder treatment. We firmly believe this is the best and most effective approach. When substance use disorder and a mental health disorder are both present, the best way to treat them is at the same time, under the same roof. Because every case is unique, no single treatment will be right for everyone. That’s why we develop a customized treatment plan for each client. We have master’s level therapists on staff that hold extensive experience in dual diagnosis counseling. After the initial period of alcohol or drug rehab is complete, we’ll put a plan for recovery in place moving forward.
When you’re battling both addiction and mental illness, a supportive environment is crucial to getting on the path to recovery and staying there. At The Blanchard Institute, that’s exactly what you’ll receive.
