Overcoming addiction requires professional addiction treatment, support groups, and counseling. Substance abuse treatment offers a combination of different types of up-to-date treatment such as medical care, relapse prevention, support group therapy, and behavioral therapies. Engaging in substance abuse treatment can help individuals regain control of their problematic substance use disorders and mental illness.
Our Huntington Beach treatment center is located in beautiful, sunny Orange County, California with proximity to the beach emphasizing a peaceful and safe environment to engage in recovery.
Why is Substance Abuse
Treatment Necessary?
Substance abuse treatment is necessary because addiction is a brain disease that affects a person’s life and health in all aspects; mentally, physically, socially, and financially. Commonly, a substance use disorder will become out of control if left untreated, and can be the result of an underlying mental health issue such as anxiety or depression. When individuals attempt to mask their mental health issues by engaging in substance use, it puts them at greater risk of developing a full-blown addiction.
Similarly, when an individual struggling with drug use attempts to dive into self-help groups, they may then see how big of an effect drugs have on their livelihood. Treatment and recovery for an individual struggling may require the individual to stay in treatment longer than they originally intended to.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that every $1 spent on drug addiction saves society in healthcare costs. The National Institute on Drug Abuse is pointing out the importance of spending funds on effective addiction treatment prevention and programming.
Our addiction treatment programs aim to treat every aspect of substance use in a person’s life. Our treatment programs cater to individuals struggling with a range of substance abuse concerns such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, opioids, and prescription drugs. Substance abuse usually stems from mental health conditions.
At California Addiction Treatment in Huntington Beach CA, we understand the intricate connection between substance use and mental disorders. Our goal is to effectively treat co-occurring disorders in the most professional way possible.
The Connection Between Substance Use
and Mental Health Conditions
Drugs or alcohol can weaken the body and make room for chemical imbalances to occur in the individual’s brain, leaving room for mood disorders. Without proper substance abuse treatment, mental health conditions reinforce substance use disorders, and the cycle continues with substance abuse perpetuating mental health. The key to healing from other mental health conditions and substance use disorders is breaking the cycle and learning how to manage a chronic brain disease like addiction.
Research shows that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5-TR) identified that a substance use disorder and mental health disorder can be a part of a co-occurring disorder.
A co-occurring disorder occurs when an individual struggles with a substance use disorder and mental illness. To reduce the risk of ongoing relapse, ongoing treatment, and behavioral therapies will have to take place. To heal properly from substance misuse and mental health, they have to be treated simultaneously. California Addiction Treatment’s dual diagnosis treatment programs can address numerous mental health issues that continually confront individuals, such as:
