Ranch Creek Recovery also offers treatment for co-occurring disorders, which are mental health conditions that occur with drug or alcohol addiction. For example, someone with alcoholism may also have depression or generalized anxiety disorder, while someone with a heroin addiction may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
It’s important to be mindful of the substance use disorder and the co-occurring mental health disorder at the same time; otherwise, the risk of relapse increases significantly.
Co-occurring disorders can cause a wide range of symptoms, including sleep disturbances, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, memory impairment and trouble maintaining personal relationships. Our staff members understand how to assess patients for these disorders and develop customized treatment plans to address specific symptoms.
Treatment for co-occurring disorders may include medications, behavior therapy, family therapy and participation in support groups. The right treatment depends on what mental illness the patient has and how severe their symptoms are.
We have experienced medical professionals and therapists on hand to develop just the right treatment program for each person.
