At Ranch Creek Recovery, most clients struggling with alcohol addiction also carry a mental health burden — often depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Sometimes the mental health condition came first, with alcohol used as a way to cope. Other times, heavy drinking triggered or worsened mental health symptoms that weren’t there before.
Either way, the relationship is two-way: alcohol makes mental health conditions worse, and poor mental health drives more drinking. Breaking this cycle is at the heart of effective recovery.
It’s common to hear clients say:
Alcohol temporarily reduces anxiety and numbs painful emotions. That’s why many people with trauma or stress turn to it for relief. But the short-term comfort comes at a cost: once the effects wear off, the anxiety, depression, or intrusive memories come back stronger. This leads to more drinking, deepening both problems.

For families, this often looks like a loved one withdrawing from activities, losing interest in work, or becoming more irritable and volatile.

When someone has both a mental health disorder and alcohol addiction, it’s called a dual diagnosis. At Ranch Creek Recovery, dual diagnosis treatment is central to what we do. We see:
Without treating both the addiction and the mental health disorder, recovery rarely lasts. If someone only detoxes from alcohol, their untreated depression or trauma often drives them back to drinking.
Another danger is progression. People who start by drinking to manage stress may turn to other substances when alcohol no longer “works.” We’ve seen clients move from alcohol to:
This “self-medication cycle” can quickly lead to polysubstance use — complicating both mental health and physical health even further. See how alcohol addiction compares to other substances.
Our approach goes beyond stopping drinking. We address the mental health challenges that fuel the addiction. At Ranch Creek Recovery we offer a wide range of alcohol treatment options, clients benefit from:
When both conditions are treated together, healing is not only possible — it’s sustainable.
If you or a loved one are using alcohol to manage depression, anxiety, or trauma, you’re not alone. Many people turn to alcohol seeking peace. But peace doesn’t come in the form of a doctors prescription — it comes from intentional change, healing the mind, body, and spirit.
At Ranch Creek Recovery, we walk this path with you even after completion of treatment.
