More on Co-Occurring Disorders or Dual Diagnosis
At Ebb Tide Treatment Centers, our integrated treatment programs are designed to address many that the co-occurring disorders SAMSHA indicates frequently present in persons with substance use disorder, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety Disorders
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Bipolar Disorder
- Personality Disorders
In many instances, these disorders are not properly diagnosed. Sometimes one disorder is treated without addressing the other issue(s). Misdiagnosed, untreated or undertreated co-occurring disorders can greatly affect treatment outcomes and have significant consequences. At Ebb Tide, we seek to address the whole person of each individual client, to ascertain whether co-existent conditions cause or exacerbate that client’s addiction. This is vitally important to providing highly individualized, integrated and effective treatment that leads to improved treatment outcomes.
