Nearly half of all people who struggle with a substance abuse disorder including addiction or alcoholism also have a mental health disorder. When you have a co-occurring disorder, you have both a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disorder. A dual diagnosis treatment center specializes in providing programs for those that have a co-occurring disorder because it is essential to treat both to recover.
Millions of Americans battle addiction each year. Addiction is a chronic mental health disease that continues to worsen until you seek treatment. During addiction, your tolerance to drugs and alcohol greatly increases. Increased tolerance forces you to use more to feel the same pleasurable effects, which can become a significant financial burden.
Addiction is a chronic, progressive, and incurable condition that causes you to abuse drugs and alcohol despite experiencing harmful negative consequences or having a strong desire to quit. Also, addiction changes your brain chemistry and can impair your decision-making process. Drugs and alcohol cause your brain to release a rush of pleasurable neurotransmitters. This rush leads to the euphoric emotions and feelings that are associated with intoxication.
During addiction, your brain’s pleasure and reward center changes. Your brain associates drugs and alcohol with pleasure and rewards your substance use by releasing neurotransmitters. When you don’t use substances, your brain restricts the release of pleasurable neurotransmitters. Over time, your brain can become dependent on drugs and alcohol to release any neurotransmitters. This causes you to deal with cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you don’t use them.

We need to treat both conditions for you to recover. Since both mental health and substance abuse disorders cause neurotransmitter imbalances, worsening mental health symptoms can make you more likely to relapse or self-medicate with drugs and/or alcohol. A dual diagnosis treatment center Tennessee offers provides you with access to mental health and addiction treatment specialists to ensure you have the tools and resources necessary to recover.
A dual diagnosis program Tennessee provides offers unique programming that addresses both your recovery and mental health needs. Our dual diagnosis treatment program in Tennessee also has psychiatrists on staff, which can be especially helpful if your medications need re-started or adjusted.
A dual diagnosis treatment center also offers:
A dual diagnosis treatment center focuses on properly diagnosing and treating your mental health problems. Since recovery can cause withdrawal symptoms and mood changes, when you have a mental health disorder, a dual diagnosis program is better prepared to meet your needs.

For the nearly 50% of people with a substance abuse disorder who suffer from a co-occurring disorder, reaching out to a dual diagnosis treatment center is the first step towards recovery.
