Substance Abuse and Mental Health Facilities in Alcoa, TN

Dual diagnosis is a common occurrence in Alcoa, as in the rest of the country. Although this condition covers a wide variety of substance abuse and mental health disorders, suffering from a particular mental illness could increase your susceptibility to abuse drugs and alcohol.

Examples of these mental illness that could eventually lead to addiction include major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, conduct disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and suicidal ideation and actions, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Suicidal Behavior

Although every type of addiction could cause suicidal behavior, it is now known that opioid use disorders have the highest risk of creating this behavior. Of those who abuse this class of drugs, men have twice as high a likelihood of engaging in this behavior while women have 8 times as high a likelihood of doing the same.

Additionally, opioid abuse and addiction is linked with 40 to 60 percent of an increase in the likelihood of developing suicidal ideation as well as 75 percent of an increase in the likelihood of attempted suicide.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

The social isolation that arises from obsessive compulsive disorder could also cause you to suffer from substance abuse and addiction. While living with OCD, you could understand that your compulsions and obsessions do not make any logical sense. Further, you might feel ashamed for acting and thinking in the ways that you do.

This disorder is like drug and alcohol addiction in the sense that it could leave you feeling isolated and removed from the outside world. You might also avoid social settings and people to keep your compulsions and obsessions private. This physical isolation, loneliness, and shame could later lead to drug and alcohol abuse and addiction.

There are highly qualified dual diagnosis treatment programs available today. These programs are suitable if you have been diagnosed with both a mental health disorder as well as a substance use disorder or an addiction.

The treatment services provided by these programs are highly effective and integrated. This is because you need them to manage all the disorders that you have been struggling with at the same time so that none of them aggravates the other or causes you to suffer a relapse or a recurrence of any of these disorders.
