Integrated TREATMENT
When mental health conditions and substance use occur together, integrated treatment is essential. At Luna, we provide comprehensive care that addresses both conditions simultaneously for lasting recovery.
UNDERSTANDING CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS
Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. These conditions often interact and influence each other, creating complex challenges that require specialized, integrated treatment.
Research shows that more than half of individuals with substance use disorders also experience mental health conditions. Without addressing both simultaneously, recovery becomes significantly more difficult and relapse rates increase.
At Luna, we understand that you can't treat one without treating the other. Our integrated approach provides comprehensive care that addresses the full spectrum of your needs.
Understanding the connection between mental health and substance use
Individuals may use substances to cope with persistent sadness, hopelessness, or lack of motivation, creating a cycle that worsens both conditions.
Substance use may temporarily relieve anxiety, panic, or social fear, but ultimately increases anxiety and creates dependency.
Trauma survivors often use substances to numb flashbacks, nightmares, or emotional pain, preventing healing from traumatic experiences.
Mood swings can lead to impulsive substance use during manic episodes or self-medication during depressive phases.
Substance use may be used to control appetite or weight, or both conditions may stem from similar underlying issues with control.
Conditions like borderline personality disorder often co-occur with substance use as individuals struggle with emotional regulation.
Treating only addiction or only mental health issues leaves half the problem unaddressed. Each condition influences and reinforces the other, creating a cycle that traditional single-focus treatment cannot break.
Without integrated care, individuals often find themselves in a revolving door of partial recovery and relapse. They may successfully stop using substances but continue struggling with untreated depression, or manage anxiety symptoms while addiction progresses.
Luna's dual diagnosis program provides simultaneous, coordinated treatment for both conditions, addressing root causes and building sustainable recovery.
