Living with co-occurring disorders is a common feature among people who are residents at alcohol detox or drug rehab center. This is because substance abuse can often be triggered as a coping mechanism for the symptoms of mental health disorders. Also, mental health disorders can be exacerbated by substance abuse.
Because of this, some people with conditions such as anxiety and depression will often decide to self-medicate using drugs and alcohol in order to experience relief from their often-unbearable symptoms. Unfortunately, drugs and alcohol often only offer a temporary respite from the symptoms of mental illness and in most cases can actually make existing symptoms worse. It’s because of this temporary respite, that people abusing drugs or alcohol often become addicted to these substances.
Drug and alcohol misuse and mental illness can also be linked in another way. The chronic use of drugs and alcohol can impact the way in which the brain functions and lead to chemical imbalances. These imbalances can eventually lead to mental illness. Excessive alcohol or drug misuse can cause individuals without a history of mental illness to develop conditions as a result of the impact that drugs and alcohol affect their brains. With an intensive therapy and detox program, these illnesses can often be managed.
